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 data. What do I need to do to turn those tones into something I can use. I'm 99% sure i'll need a cable. Does anyone have the pin out for said cable. What about software? I have ready access at a OS X 10.8.2, Windows 7, Windows 98, and DOS 6.22. Right now i'm not looking to transmit data or repeat it but then again I have no idea how it's done or what's involved so if it's simple enough I might go for it.
Thank you again for your help,
