APRS beacon testers needed

[F1RMB]

The presets values are hardcoded, but you can still make adjustements of the settings after selecting a preset.

"Smart beaconing" sets the parameters to defaults for given activity type. On the APRS settings screen you just push the 1, 2, etc. buttons. You cannot change these presets, they are hardcoded in firmware for now.

Thanks, thats what I needed help with was how to change the preset. In case it helps others, Options -> APRS options -> Mode then use rotary knob on RT3S to select "Smart" and while that menu option is still selected, press 1-6 to change what preset you are using.

Still curious what to do about sending wrong Location, when previous Location is populated at power-on. Docs show:

If the location data is not valid in Manual or PTT beaconing modes, the word "Location?" will be displayed on the screen and the data will not be transmitted. In automatic modes (Auto and Smart), no beacon will be transmitted until a valid location is set (in Location screen screen or having a GPS fix on featured transceivers).

Is there a way to delete Location manually? I can set my coordinates manually, but I'm trying to replicate the "Location?" behavior described above.

Is it possible to clear Location on radio startup?

Sometimes in manual mode I send a beacon, forgetting I need to check if GPS has acquired location yet - and end up sending my last known location which is somewhere else entirely.

Also, the documentation mentions SmartBeaconing™ modes like Car/Sailing/e-Bike - where is that configured? Thanks!

The parameters for smart beaconing presets like Car, Sailing or eBike are hard coded and can't be edited.

Currently there is no way to clear the location.
