aprs

Hey everyone! I have a question about the Yaesu FT1D, and APRS. When I had a Kenwood D710 in the APRS status comment I had the ability to input a code that would automatically show on my APRS beacons what frequency I was monitoring, tone, and offset. If I changed frequencies on the radio it...

I have this unit, just the unit alone. No wires. Kantronics KPC-3+ Radio Modem/TNC Where can I buy the wires for this? Prefer usb, since I am running windows 8 I am running a FT-8800R

I noticed that I was not able to hit any repeaters from the B bank of my VX-8DR (A bank works fine and uses same frequencies). I found out that 95 - Squelch Type goes to Off on all frequencies in the B bank when I enable my APRS modem. I know APRS uses the B bank so anybody know if this is...

Hi Guys, So here’s a question you’ve never heard before, I’ve been doing lots of reading for my next mobile rig and it’s going to be either a Icom ID- 5100A or a Kenwood TM- D710G so which one? … all over again. It seems to be a pretty popular thread and topic. (grin) What's the easier why...

I have a ft-1900 and for a school project I need to use it with aprs. I have an android tablet with APRS Droid. I have seen this for other radios, but I am not sure how to wire up a ft-1900 for this due to its odd mic jack. Please respond and thank you

Hey all, Is it possible to monitor APRS on my pc via a scaner and sound-card?

Can some one show me how to set up bionics aprs on a Baofeng Uv5ra. I want to be able to send/receive aprs packets. If you have done this please post some photos of the equipment you used (cables tt3/4 ect.)

I've got a couple of spare GP300's that I've been wanting to configure for APRS. The thing that stumps me is what is the best way to go about modifying a GP series radio for such a task? Is their a way to go through a header similar to that of the J1 header on the Radius/Maxtrac/GM300 series...

I have created a Yahoo Group covering this topic about how to setup and configure a Trimble Placer 450 GPS receiver for use with APRS. I created the group to help others through the process. When I searched for info about this topic, I found that there was not currently a single source of how to...

All, I'm trying to figure out how to program a KPC-3+ to beacon multiple objects. My local club has 2 repeaters (2 tx/rx sites, 1 of which has 2 remote receive sites). I would like to have our 2 digipeaters automatically beacon the following: 1 Object name: 147.255+N Object comment...

Hello, New technician looking to get started with APRS. I have a HT and want to just start with client software in XP (or Mac) where I can connect the HT to the laptop via the mic and speaker pins on the HT. I want to just watch (decode) local APRS transmissions and then transmit a few of my...

Hello All, I have a Motorola Spectra Dash Mount VHF (136.0 - 162.0 MHz) radio in my house that I use for Amature Radio and other radio needs. I was thinking about using it to RX APRS data to see what's out there. I HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT APRS. I have programmed in 144.39000 MHz and can hear...

I was trying to think of a catchy title. That should work. I finally got my CX-333 Comet tribander up! I've been eyeballing that Kenwood D710A. I want to get it for APRS. (Long story as to why...) BUT! I have a problem. The Kenwood only has ONE antenna port, which is absolutely wonderful...

I am trying to figure out how to create a interface cable between my Kenwood TM-D710A Model K and my Garmin Nuvi 200. Does anyone have any extertise in trying to build a cable and if so, have any directions? Better question, is it even possible? Thanks, Andrew KK4IFN

I got a new bicycle to hopefully help me shed a few pounds and for some reason I thought it would be fun to put an APRS tracking unit on it. Granted the bike isn't a Trek or a Cannondale but I didn't want to spend a lot of bucks on a bike if I didn't stick with it. I already had most of the...

I have an Icom 2200 in the minivan, and two HTs. The Yaesu FT-270 is in the car, and The VX-3R is in my briefcase all of the time. I've been hearing a little more about APRS, which I think is pairing-up a GPS receiver with a radio in order to regularly broadcast your position? A few questions...
