APRS MIC-E Format
I transmitted `C@Y\\\-/test MIC-E to NO-44 to do the experiment of APRS MIC-E on 10 Nov 2007.
It's included 'Latitude, Longitude, Movement direction, and Speed' in the part of following
3URSP5 and C@Y. In addition, the part of \\\ is a binary data. These 3URSP5, C@Y, and \\\
are generated automatically using my "LATI/LONG -> MIC-E Converter Ver1.2".

Note: UPLINK CHANNELS: GO-32 has two uplink channels that can work for APRS packets...
One will allow only the Mic-E format APRS packets (D7 and D700 tactical position reporting)
and the other will only work for APRS or UI messaging...
This is in hardware, due to front-end filtering parameters, not due to any arbitrary policy...

Conversion List
The conversion list to convert 'Latitude, Longitude, Movement direction, and Speed' to
MIC-E format was opend to the pablic by JH4XSY.
http://www.ne.jp/asahi/hamradio/je9pel/244.xls
I opened to the public "LATI/LONG -> MIC-E Converter Ver1.2"
http://www.ne.jp/asahi/hamradio/je9pel/miceconv.zip

Lati 35d23m3s N
35d23.05m N
Long 139d36m36.5s E
139d36.61m E
Speed 0 knots
Cource 0 deg.
Destination 3URSP5
Information `C@Y\\\-/ <-- this \\\ is a binary data.
------------------------
So, unproto 3URSP5 via 4XTECH
and as a message, `C@Y\\\-/MIC-E, 73 ALL
then, ` is a header and -/ is a footer.
