Welcome to Episode 215 of Linux in the Ham Shack. In this episode, we take an in-depth look at APRS, the Automatic Packet Reporting System. This is a digital mode, frequently used on the VHF/UHF bands for propagating location information, weather data, message traffic and more from one station to another using packet TNCs and digipeaters for RF communication and I-Gates for connectivity via the Internet. Join us as we look at how you can participate in APRS using Linux and Open Source in your ham shack. Thanks for listening!
