APRS (Automatic Packet/Position Reporting System)
Using APRS, the TH-D7 A/E lets you transmit your co-ordinates to a friend, who can then pinpoint your position using a map on a computer. APRS software has been developed for a variety of platforms; however, what makes the Data Communicator so special is that it enables APRS operation without requiring a computer. And when you receive your friend´s positional data, you can display latitude/longitude, direction and distance on your own Data Communicator.
Positional/directional data
Just hook up to a GPS receiver (NMEA-0183 compatible) and you can transmit your position for automatic calculation of distance, current speed and heading with icons, short comments or fixed messages. Manual input of latitude/longitude is also permitted.
Versatile messaging
Transmit alpha messages (up to 45 characters) and bulletins. Alternatively, short comments (up to 20 characters) and fixed messages (8 patterns) can be sent together with your positional data.
Station list
Store received APRS data in up to 40 memory channels.
