Baofeng UV-5R and APRSdroid Settings


 

? Just started dabbling in APRS. Have the UV-5R, the APRS-K2 cable that hooks up to my LG smartphone, downloaded and installed the APRSdroid software, obtained the APRS-IS passcode and put that into the program. Finally seems that I have everything working. The volume on the radio is set to about 50% and looks like it decodes well. VOX is set at 8. I'm fuzzy on the APRSdroid settings; not real clear what needs to be set to what. I'm wanting to use this in my vehicle next weekend. Will set at high power, running into a 5/8 wave mag mount. Any thoughts/recommendations are appreciated!

I know I'm replying to an old post, but how did it go?
I have all the equipment, and have most of the settings configured on the phone. I'm using a Baofeng uv82 since the 5 watts of the uv5r just aren't reaching anyone. I at least have aprsdroid triggering the radio to transmit, and the radio receives, but it's not being decoded in the app for some reason.
I've been very frustrated with the conflicting information, or the lack of info all together. Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
