Hi All,

In the page 15 of the book “KENWOOD Listen to the future – TH-D72A/E”. It is written:

Step 1: Built in Clock

APRS data will be stamped with date and time. Therefore, the built-in clock must be set.

Since the time acquired via the GPS receiver is UTC, Time Zone must be configured.

Can anybody tell me how the APRS data is stamped with date and time in the TH-D72 APRS Packet? Is there a new APRS Mic-Encoder Format that’s include time and date.

If not how can I add time and date of the position measurement in the APRS packet? This is very important for me because I try to save the positions of a mobile periodically, and send them when the satellite is in visibility.

The simple way is to use the field packet path. Since the communication is via satellite and we don’t need relay or wide…

Have you any advise or elegant way to do this? I think it would be a good thing if the APRS Mic-Encoder Format take care of the date and time of position measurement.
