[arm-allstar] APRS

Sun Aug 19 23:51:26 EDT 2018

Aloha Danny, 
I'm pretty new to APRS. Can you point me to a link to set this up? I just inherited  half dozen rigs and TNC's from a local ham here on Kauai and would like to take advantage of this. I built a Xastir node on a Raspberry Pi and TNC-PI that was fun but there's not a lot of APRS traffic or interest here in the islands.  Hoping to maybe stimulate a little.

If you have the opportunity to transmit your APRS packet out to RF either directly or indirectly, please update your comment to follow the APRS Spec for QSY format.

from
comment = AllStar Node 46738 Monitor 443.875 pl 110.9

to

comment = 443.875MHz C110 AllStar Node 46738
^ if you are using CTCSS encode and decode

or

comment = 443.875MHz T110 AllStar Node 46738
^ if you are using PL decode only

Passers by with mobile radios equipped to decode this can then push a TUNE button and QSY to your repeater instantly. If you are only pushing to APRSIS then it doesn't matter because mobile radios out in the wild will never hear it.
