TZT R3-FT400 Bluetooth Box
The role of the Bluetooth box
The Bluetooth box has a built-in Bluetooth module. The APRS beacon data
decoded by the FTM400 or FTM100 is output to the Bluetooth module in the box
through the 10-pin to 6-pin cable. The aprs software is installed on the
mobile phone or tablet to search for the Bluetooth module in the connection
box. For example, APRSDROID is connected to the Bluetooth box. The beacon
received by the FT400 or FT100 can be transmitted to the APRSDROID to see the
map position, direction distance, etc. Supported platform models: FTM-400D,
FTM400XDR, FTM-100D
*You can also use DIY other cables to connect to KenwoodTM-D710 or other APRS stations with PACKET or NMEA WAYPOINT output.
