Baofeng BTECH DMR 6x2 PRO APRS Settings

[KO6DZQ]

I was just going to post a similar experience so replying here instead.

I have the same issue with the BTECH DMR 6x2 PRO. Firmware 1.10 and 1.20.

Confirmed, aprsdroid connected to the BTECH I can send out a packet and I get picked up on aprs.fi by a local repeater. I made sure the phone was not connected to the internet and communicating to the radio via AFSK.

Now I'm testing with two HT, one BF connected to aprsdroid and I do see aprs packets from other hams, confirming I'm receiving. I have my BTECH sending out APRS, I see the message on the display, TX lights up and RX on the BF lights up but I'm not seeing packets in aprsdroid.
What I did notice is I left the HT beaconing every 30s for an hour and I came back and I did see a single packet from the BTECH on the aprsdroid. The HT are sitting next to each other. I'm expecting each time I beacon out, a packet shows up in aprsdroid.

I followed YT videos on setting up the anytone and looked at the BTECH manual to confirm aprs settings are good. I'm not sure what the problem is but I think it's some setting as aprsdroid sends out reliably over RF.

I'm also want the BTECH to display aprs packets information on the device just to confirm it's receiving but I have no idea how this is done.

The HT are sitting next to each other.
The transmitting radio was probably overloading the receiving radio. Move them apart 30 feet or more.

I asked BTECH support and they did help and now the radio sends aprs and is getting received without using aprsdroid and shows up on aprs.fi. They gave me an codeplug -> aprs setting which I think it's could be the transmit/prewave delay values, maybe ctcss/dcs setting as these had different values when it was failing, I had set them to 600ms before. Try the settings in the image.

So, once you save this, is there a menu option to turn it off and on?

Also, what software are you showing in the picture. I cannot seem to find any CPS software for the UV-PRO.
