[amsat-bb] FTM-100DR APRS path for ISS?

[Harvey N. Vordenbaum]

This reminds me of a problem I  have with my FTM400 and other Yaesu now.
Their positions don't show up in APRS+SA maps. (V9)  They do show up in
APRS.FI okay.
Could it be because Yaesu's append a " _% " on the end of every packet they
send?
This was two years ago.
I even sent the FTM400 back to Yaesu, but they didn't find anything wrong.
I gave up and went back to using my old TM-D700's for mobile's.
Would there be a way to work around this?  Or do I have to use some other
program to monitor with?

Bob,


  Being the father of APRS, I would think a call to Yaesu might result in a
Firmware change to add the function.
