APRS on Baofeng DM1702

  1. Configure the radio using CPS
    1. Download CPS version that supports APRS -this is not an official source -you do so at your own risk.
    2. Run the CPS software, read the current config from your radio then select General Settings- Parameter: Check the APRS box and set the APRS parameters as shown. I’m using the Ireland Brandmiester APRS service on 272999 others are available but I haven’t tried them.
Check APRS box and enter parameters.

Select GPS and enter parameters.

In each channel select the desired GPS system.
  1. Configure APRS parameters using Brandmeister self care.

Phoenix repeaters can also forward to APRSIS. In this case there is no self cre config simply set the APRS target ID to one of the following:
5050 = without SSID
5055 = House QTH
5056 = Camping
5057 = walking with handheld radio
5058 = boat
5059 = car

Unfortunately I haven’t found a way to configure APRS on a per channel or per zone basis.
