Hi Ray, The website says it will still do APRS even when in dual watch. Says APRS uses its own setup. How this helps. I was just looking into this myself. W8NGS
@rickinmi

I think its supposed to allow the APRS to funtion in the background, even when monitoring 2 other frequencies (via dual watch) on the main screen. I have been unable to receive and decode packets like that. I have been able to receive and decode when 144.39 is on a single vfo. Dual watch is tricky for APRS or packet as some data is likely to remain unheard during the dual watch magic frequency switching it uses.
