FTM-100DR APRS path for ISS?
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.

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

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
