I have a YAESU FT-2D I am a fairly new ham and very new to APRS I have set everything in the APRS menu to what i believe to be correct based off of the YAESU manual and the "pro's" off youtube however. I don't appear to be sending my location out as it does not appear on aprs.fi i seem to be sending something out and i am receiving data packets but when i much reply to an incoming packet it just disappear's.
so i am probably just over complicating things but if anyone know the proper setting's to make this thing work. your help would be greatly appreciated. here is my whole menu and radio setup:
