APRS
I have recently begun dabbling with APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System) after attending Dayton and visiting the Byonics booth. A while back I built a Byonics Pocket Tracker for a ham friend but knew absolutely nothing about APRS at the time so when I saw the Byonics booth at Dayton I was curious. My main interest was the GPS receiver which I wanted to learn about to incorporate with a 10 meter synchronized beacon. Well after learning a liitle bit my curiosity was peaked and I had to build myself an APRS system.
My first step was to learn a little about APRS and how it works.
