Ham Radio 360: All about APRS with W6KWF
APRS; oh the questions you've raised! It's been about 2+ years since I decided I wanted to give APRS a go. I purchased a Mobilinkd TNC2 and set off. It was only a day or so later that I determined there were No Digipeater/iGates in my county, and not too many outside those bounds. In this episode of the Ham Radio 360 podcast, Cale discusses his struggles with understanding APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System) and the lack of available resources for learning about it. He describes how he was able to connect with Kenneth Fennegan, W6KWF, who offered to help him understand the ins and outs of APRS. The podcast episode features an interview with Fennegan, who provides a clear explanation of the mode and equipment in a way that is easy to understand for those new to APRS. The conversation covers topics such as the purpose of APRS, how it works, equipment needed, and how to get started using it. Special Thanks to Kenneth for coming on and sharing his time and expertise on the subject! Below you'll find the links we discussed!
