HAM frequencies which I monitor while hiking
I monitor DMR TG 231 (Slovak Republic calling TG) and 145,500 MHz FM while hiking. I usually send APRS beacon as OM8KT-7 in a 3-minute interval. I primarily use Anytone AT-D878UV2+ handheld transceiver while hiking with extra batteries. My other handheld radios are Yaesu FT-5 and Yaesu FT-70. I like to take one of them as the secondary radio which I use for airband monitoring and scaring off bears :). I use to power these radios from the external LiFePO4 battery via battery eliminators so I can push out the full power from Diamond RH770 telescopic antenna when transmitting from a summit without worrying about running out of the battery. Both VHF and UHF bands work great with this telescopic antenna.
Position while hiking:
I am beaconing APRS on 144,800 MHz as OM8KT-7 every 3 minutes while hiking. It is mainly for safety reasons, since I hike alone. I am usually not receiving the APRS frequency. Transceiver which I mostly use for APRS is Anytone 878 and it "jumps" from 145,500 to 144,800 where it transmits APRS packets and returns back to 145,500.
Although I use to take also Yaesu FT-5D with me, I usually don't use it for APRS because frequent APRS brodcasting drains battery in this transceiver very quickly. So I use FT-5 mainly for scanning airband frequencies and monitoring HAM frequencies.
If the area is not covered by any 2m APRS iGate/digipeater, then I send my position manually via DMR repeater if there is some in the range.
The third possibility is sending the position from the cell phone as OM8KT-5 if there is data coverage but I use this way very rarely while hiking.
