*APRS® is a registered trademark of Bob Bruninga WB4APR Heads-Up Compass Display on the GPS ScreenYour traveling direction is always toward the top of the display Smart Beaconing ™ FunctionWhen using APRS® for position tracking, the beacon timing is automatically adjusted to your traveling speed and location to plot a smoother trace to match your position and movement on a map. SmartBeaconing™ from HamHUD Nichetronix is able to modify its own beacon rate in response to the motion of the vehicle that carries. Since the APRS network has limited bandwidth, SmartBeaconing™ transmits an optimal amount of position information with a minimal amount of QRM to other network users - making VX-8DR users some of the most "efficient" on the network.
