# View Radio View

This view provides current message status in a form similar to the Kenwood TM-D710 control head, but without paging between parts of the information.

The display contains:

- The current count of uncleared messages received by YAAC.
- The last sending station heard by YAAC, with flags indicating if it is a new or duplicate message from that station, and whether it is a position message, object report, status message, or something else.
- Whether the local GPS receiver is working.
- The station callsign or object identifier being reported.
- The type of sending station (if available), inferred by decoding the TOCALL.
- The free text of the message (if any).
- The weather data in the message (if any).
- The current station position, speed, and course (if provided).
- The bearing and distance from this station to the heard station.
- The icon used to represent this station.

Options are available to cause the radio view window to automatically open at YAAC startup (normally must be opened manually), and to only display message received through RF connections (normally will accept packets from any source, including log files and APRS-IS connections).
