What Is APRS for?

APRS Tactical Real-time Events APRS is not about vehicle tracking. It is a single information resource channel where everything that is going on in ham radio in the surrounding area can be announced and updated in real time. It presents to the viewer on his APRS radio front panel all that is happening right now, where it is, and all the info he needs to participate whether it is an event, happening, net, activity, announcement, future activity, or situation. The APRS channel is his one-stop look at everything that could be going on in the local area, and his one-stop place to post what he might be doing that might be of interest to others. APRS is not about GPS positions, it is about a situational map display of everything that is happening, and most of that is OBJECTS containing INFO on the activty and how to contact other operators.

Introduction To Amateur Radio Digi Mode FSQ

This video by Kevin Loughin is a good intro to the fairly new digital mode FSQ. It behaves like a "chat" system - single lines of text are exchanged, in a "Fast Simple QSO". There are options for sending files as well, though with speeds of 6 Baud, you wouldn't want to send much really! Here are the main resources for the software: http://www.qsl.net/zl1bpu/MFSK/FSQweb.htm https://www.sigidwiki.com/wiki/FSQ
