APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System) configuration types.

APRS is a tactical real-time digital communications protocol used by ham radio operators for position reporting, messaging, and telemetry. The TH-D75 supports APRS on VHF with features including position beaconing, two-way messaging, SmartBeaconing, digipeater path configuration, packet filtering, and QSY information exchange.

§QSY function (per Operating Tips §2.3.3-§2.3.5)

APRS beacons can embed a voice frequency (QSY information) so that other stations can tune directly to a voice channel. In FM mode, the beacon includes the current Band A or B voice frequency. In D-STAR DR mode, the beacon also includes the repeater callsign; in DV mode, only the frequency is included. Per Operating Tips §2.3.4.

QSY display distance can be restricted via Menu No. 523 (per Operating Tips §2.3.5), limiting which QSY beacons are shown based on the transmitting station’s distance from the receiver.

§Fixed-position beacon during GPS track logging (per Operating Tips §2.3.6)

When GPS track logging is active, APRS beacons can be transmitted from a fixed position (set via Menu No. 401) instead of the live GPS position. This is useful when operating from a known location while still logging a GPS track.

§Digipeated beacon registration (per Operating Tips §2.3.7)

Beacons received via digipeaters are registered in the station list. The station list shows the digipeater path used.

§VoiceAlert (per Operating Tips §5.3)

VoiceAlert is a CTCSS-based mechanism: APRS beacons are transmitted with a CTCSS tone so that stations monitoring the APRS frequency with matching tone squelch hear an audible alert, enabling quick voice contact. Menu No. 910 controls the balance between VoiceAlert audio and normal APRS audio.

These types model every APRS setting accessible through the TH-D75’s menu system (Chapter 14 of the user manual) and MCP programming memory (pages 0x0151+ in the memory map).
