Analog APRS

[KI7CKR]

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone has had success getting Analog APRS to function with the Radioddity DB25-D version of this radio?

I've installed the latest firmware update, gone through the CPS addendum pdf step by step several times.

Today I decided to try the RT73 editor here. I am still unable to see my APRS showing up. (I believe it is transmitting data as I have another radio and can hear them being sent at the end of a transmit on 144.390)

I've tried WIDE1-1 alone. WIDE1-1WIDE2-2 with no comma and WIDE-1,WIDE2-2 as it would normally be. I've tried different transmit delays and prewave times.

Any hints, suggestions?
Maybe someone would have a screenshot of what the screen should look like?

Well,
Success!!

Your codeplug must have some difference from the Radiodity CPS. I was able to get the analog only APRS working with the following setup:

Radioddity have been making there own changes to the CPS and Firmware recently.
I will be updating the editor over the weekend to match the changes in the latest Radioddity firmware, adding the Group Call Hangtimes for 30sec and 60sec etc..

I have the DB25-D (two of them actually) and I have yet to get the analog APRS to work. I've been in contact with Steve at Radioddity support and he's been helpful as far as saying that all my settings are correct and should be working. I see that these posts are from 2021, so I'm hoping someone has found a solution by now. Thanks.

@KO9P Have you had any luck trying to get the APRS to work? I've been scratching my head with analog APRS on my DB25-D. I've followed the guide from Radioddity (with the Radioddity CPS), but when it get's to the part where I create an analog channel and I'm supposed to select "APRS(A)" all the way at the right column, I don't have that choice available. I can only select off and 0-8, or something like that. I don't have it in front of me right now.

Anyway, I was just wondering if you've had any success. I'm going to try the MM7DBT CPEditor and see if I have better luck. I just haven't found a step-by-step guide for that, yet.

I have not had any issues getting aprs working, however since it does not decode rx'd aprs packets it pretty useless to me. When I have time I am going to try to use a program like pinpoint aprs or direwolf to decode the packets by feeding the audio from the radio to my laptop.
