Transmitting D-PRS data (Continued)
D Weatherstationtransmission
When you transmit as a weather station, you should set
the weather station’s settings, and input the weather
data to the [DATA] terminal.
You can input the weather data from a third party’s
weather device by converting it to the APRS weather
format in your PC or microcomputer.
After completing the weather station’s settings, and in-
putting the weather data, you can transmit as a weather
station.
NOTE:
If the weather data is not input to the [DATA] terminal,
you cannot transmit as a weather station.

Terminal information
D Applicationsetting
Configure the communication software as follows.
• Port: The COM port number that is used by
the ID-5100A/E.*
1
• Baud rate: 4800/9600 bps*
2
• Data: 8 bit
• Parity: none
• Start: 1 bit
• Stop: 1 bit
• Flow control: none

Depending on the PC environment, the COM port
number used by the ID-5100A/E may be higher than
5. In such case, use an application that can set it to
higher than 5.
*

Set the baud rate in the “Data Speed” item.
(Function > Data Speed) (p. 12-56)
D Conrmingtheweatherdatainput
You can confirm whether or not the weather data is in-
put to the [DATA] terminal.
Set the GPS TX Mode to “D-PRS,” and the TX format q
to “Weather.” (p. 8-23, p. 8-24)
In the normal operation screen (Example: VFO, DR w
screen), touch [QUICK], and then touch “GPS Infor-
mation.”
• Opens the “GPS INFORMATION” screen.
• The weather information screen appears as shown below
if the weather data is input to the [DATA] terminal.
When you can see the weather information screen, you
can transmit as a weather station. If “-” is displayed on the
weather information screen, the weather data does not
input to the [DATA] terminal. In this case, check the input
data settings.
D Abouttheweatherdatacontent
