APRDS

“APRS or the Automated Packet Reporting System can be really handy for tracking vehicles and other assets during events like parades, rides or walkathons. But if you are using a low powered APRS tracker, like a handheld radio, you may not be able to reliably get into the wide area digipeater. In this video I’m going to show you how you can use a spare 2 meter radio and TNC to build a fill in digipeater that can be deployed during special events.”
