Select the record methodthat suits the means of traveling you choose, the traveling distance and the environment of thelocation. For example, if there are many turns, a correct logging may not be possible with “Distance”and you should set to “Time” instead. Conversely, when you are forced to stay at the same place fora long time because of a traffic jam or for some other reason, “Distance” will be more efficient.Use Menu 230 (GPS - Log Setup - Record Method) to set the log record method.“Time” records the log with the time spacing specified in “Interval”. The possible value of Interval isbetween 2 and 1800 seconds.Figure 4-21 If 10 seconds are configured for Interval“Distance” records the log entry after a transceiver leaves exceeding the preconfigured distance fromthe point where the log was recorded last. The value of Distance can be configured in the range from0.01 to 9.99. The unit of Distance can be selected from km, mile and nm in Units 1 (Menu No. 3V0)in the APRS menu.Figure 4-22 If 0.01 miles are configured for DistanceConfiguring Beacon enables recording the log immediately after a beacon is transmitted each time.Using SmartBeaconing in conjunction enables more efficient logging at a turn in the road.Figure 4-23 Normal Logging MethodTH-D72A/E CONTENTS 33From The N3UJJ.COM Document Library
