Select an SSID based on APRS

to add to your call
sign, to show your operating style to other stations.
The addition methods of the SSID may differ, depending on
whether the call sign includes a space or not.
• ---: The space in the call sign is converted to “-.”
If no text is programmed after the space, the
space will be deleted, and the space is not
converted to “-.”
Example: “JA3YUA” ➡ “JA3YUA”
“JA3YUA A” ➡ “JA3YUA-A”
• (-0): No SSID is added.
If a call sign includes a space, any text or
digit after the space will be deleted.
Example: “JA3YUA” ➡ “JA3YUA”
“JA3YUA A” ➡ “JA3YUA”
• -1 to -15: Adds an SSID of -1 to -15 to the call sign.
If a call sign includes a space, it will be auto-
matically changed to this set numeric ID.
Example (SSID [-9]):
“JA3YUA” ➡ “JA3YUA-9”
“JA3YUA A” ➡ “JA3YUA-9”
• -A to -Z: Adds an SSID of -A to -Z to your call sign.
If a call sign includes a space, it will be auto-
matically changed to this set letter ID.
Example (SSID [-Z]):
“JA3YUA” ➡ “JA3YUA-Z”
“JA3YUA A” ➡ “JA3YUA-Z”

ture environment, such as a product or network, is
changed.
Please check the latest guideline in the web site re-
