DISPLAY LED DURING RECEIVE TYT UV8000E UPGRADE
In order to write new settings to the HG-UV98, you need to put the radio into upgrade mode by holding down PF1 side button while turning the radio on.Īfter you do this, its easy to write APRS settings to the radio.

The only quirk with the APRS software is that you can only read settings from the radio. A charge cradle is an optional accessory. The really unique thing however is that the battery has a USB micro connector that allows you to charge the battery from either the included 12V to 5V USB "cigar/accessory" adapter or the 120 VAC to 5V USB power cube along with the included USB "A" to USB "Micro Male" cable. The battery will not fit any other model radios though.
This is no big difference compared to other radios which have a similar battery specification like a TYT MD-UV380 and many other recent radios. Built in voltage measurement function reads is just as accurate compared to an external meter. The included battery of the HG-UV mAh capacity at 7.4 V. So far this article may be giving you a lot to think about, so lets switch to talking about the hardware to give your APRS section of your cranium a brief rest. This is NOT the same as legitimate APRS communication, so do not be fooled.

The only way for full two way communication via APRS with the HG-UV98 and radios such as the Icom ID-51, Anytone D878 and Alinco DJ-MD5TGP are via internet routing involving a hot spot or repeater plus looking at the APRS.fi website. The Anytone AT-D878UV can only transmit APRS, so while those can be received on the HG-UV98, you can not transmit APRS back to the Anytone expecting the user will receive the message.
Only the listed Kenwood and Yaesu radios can actually receive and transmit 1200 baud APRS, thus making them 100% compatible for two way data communications with the HG-UV98. While strange at first thought, you can mute both sides of the radio at the same time, which may be interesting if you want to set APRS for both UHF and VHF at the same time as some sort of tracking device and not have any RX audio come out of the speaker, regardless of how you set the master volume knob. This can also be flipped depending on user preference. You can however enable mute on the "A" or "B" side of the HG-UV98 which is helpful if you want to use APRS on "A" but not hear the packet data bursts while listening to voice communication on the "B" side. The HG-UV98 lacks an audio mixer function such as the one found on the Kenwood and Yaesu radios. Lanch HG-UV98 CPS program is simple to use You can set a TX or RX priority though to offer additional priority flexibility. While you can dual watch 144.390 and 146.520 at the same time, you can only receive one of those signals at the same time and not both. This may be of interest those interested in duplex operation via SO-50, AO-92, AO-91 and a few other satellites. Dual band receive at the same time is supported, which means a signal at 145.880 and 435.350 MHz can be heard through the speaker at the same time. The HG-UV98 is also dual watch in the same band, but not dual receive at the same time in the same band.

Many amateur radio vendors now offer hand held radios with digital voice capability such as DMR, Fusion or D-Star modulation modes, but still lack easy to use data only functions that work across different vendors equipment.ĪX.25 based APRS is the only current protocol that will let users of some Yaesu, Kenwood and certain Icom equipment "talk data" to each other over non-voice means for point to point communications or through some type of infrastructure like a digipeater or the Brandmeister DMRnetwork, Icom's D-Star and other API avenues that lead to websites like APRS.fi
