Yea, and it makes perfect sense too, but it's just not a descriptive error. Plus, the norm for guys that play with data is generally to leave squelch wide open.@@hamandcheese25
This was it for me, thank you. Don't know why my gps wasn't set. Couldn't figure out why my FTM-200 would tx in the truck, but the one in my base station wouldn't.
Glad to be of help, it’s got a bit of a learning curve but pretty easy to work with. I programmed mine by hand but will use an SD card to back up, those seem to be the wave of the future in radio. Thanks for watching, 73!
Bob, WB4APR,created Voice Alert for APRS. You set your PL Tone to 100.0, then your unit still receives the APRS Packets, but you only hear the packets with the PL through the speaker.
Thank you for the video. It is helpful info. However, because I often change frequency to listen to sheriff or FD, when the APRS is set to 'mute,' it seems to prevent whatever other radio traffic I might want to listen to. For me, it was just easier to close the squelch enough to reduce the static. Then I didn't have either of those issues anymore.
Interesting, do you have the APRS set to VFO B and use VFO A for your listening? I also listen to local fire dispatch and have not experienced this issue running it in the above setup
This is not an "issue" or a "problem" that needs fixed. It is simply how radios with APRS work. It won't transmit if the squelch is open. Every radio I have that has APRS works this way - Kenwood or Yaesu. Still, it is good for people to understand how this works.
That is correct on the squelch, but in this case there is a mute function for the APRS which is not a common feature on most radios. Of all of the 2m/70cm gear I use this is the only one that offers it. Thanks for watching
Thank you so much! I have spent hours trying to figure this out. Right after I gave up, I saw your video.
First search result and you fixed my radio! Thanks!!!!!
Glad it worked for you, 73 my friend!
THANK YOU! This was driving me a little nuts yesterday. 73
Thank you. Solved by TX Probibited issue. KO6AGW
Dude, thank you! Was wracking my brain on the 500 with this issue. I thought my gpa receiver was bad as it’ll do the same.
Glad it could help you, there’s almost zero documentation on it and yet it’s quite a common problem faced by many users

You’ll get the same message if your “my position set” is set to GPS and the GPS symbol is flashing and not solid
Interesting and good to know, thanks for watching! 73!

Just bought a 300. Not setup yet, but thanks for the info.

I was not aware of this, learn something new everyday. Thanks for watching, 73!

@@hamandcheese25 Yes, the same as me. APRS on B, and either fire, sheriff, or aviation, or railroad on A
@@tglenn3121 interesting, I’ll definitely be looking into this more
Had the issue with new FTM-500. Thanks for hint.
Glad it was of help, 73!

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!... ke4may
Glad it was able to help you, take care 73!
I don't know... I've have this feeling this radio's squelch is wonky from the factory.
I have to agree, it is a bit quirky in its setup and does take a bit of getting used to
Take the plastic off. 😂
