0. About 0.2B
In version 0.2B, the APRS transmission function was added. I don't have a lot of experience with APRS, and I haven't yet been able to test transmitting from the UV-K5 to an APRS receiver.
In version 0.2, the APRS transmission function was added. I don't have much experience with APRS, and I actually can't test the transmission from UV-K5 to an APRS receiver.
I performed the test using an FT-817 radio and the "Softmodem" software.
I performed testing using an FT-817 radio and a piece of software called Softmodem.
The AX.25 modem, which consists of software, requires precise timing control, but the UV-K5's microcontroller does not have a crystal, making precise control difficult.
The AX.25 modem consists of software and requires precise timing control, but the MCU in the UV-K5 does not have a crystal oscillator, making it difficult to achieve accurate timing control.
However, transmission and reception were confirmed at approximately 1200 bps. Please test to verify that it is functioning correctly.
