This reminds me of a problem I have with my FTM400 and other Yaesu now. Their positions don't show up in APRS+SA maps. (V9) They do show up in APRS.FI okay. Could it be because Yaesu's append a " _% " on the end of every packet they send? This was two years ago. I even sent the FTM400 back to Yaesu, but they didn't find anything wrong. I gave up and went back to using my old TM-D700's for mobile's. Would there be a way to work around this? Or do I have to use some other program to monitor with? Harvey K5HV

Bob,
Being the father of APRS, I would think a call to Yaesu might result in a Firmware change to add the function.

Apparently, the current version of the FTM-100DR cannot set an APRS path for digipeating via the ISS.
W9BU reports:
See page 41 of the FTM-100DR APRS manual. Your choices for digipeater route are "OFF", "WIDE1-1", or "WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1". Other than those three selections, the route is not configurable.
This leaves out via ARISS, or the universal via APRSAT which should be supported by all APRS satelliites.
