How to send a SMS text message with the Yaesu FT3DR HT

This video shows how to send a SMS text message using the APRS messaging feature in the Yaesu FT3DR Handie-Talkie.

Note: When your SMS message is received by an iGate, your callsign will appear onscreen, followed by the letters SMSGTE. This confirms that the gateway received your message. When the person you sent the text to responds, the LED will blink bright white a couple of times, accompanied by a couple of beeps, and their message will pop up onscreen. Note that the message will time out and the display will return to normal. But you can press F MW, then M.LIST, and your latest received message will be 1st in the list. Select message 1 and press DISP to read it. You can reply to the message by pressing REPLY. Use the right-pointing arrow key to advance past the phone number and edit the message with your reply. Press Back and then press M-TX to send your reply.

Hint: You can set the FT3DR to continuously flash the white LED until you have read the message. Long press DISP and tap the APRS menu category. Go to parameter 5, APRS MSG FLASH and press DISP. Set the MSG option to Continuous.
