(Operating) APRS MOVING HAMSON RADIO AND THE INTERNET ARRL9167


APRS -- Moving Hams on Radio and the Internet
-- A Guide to the Automatic Position Reporting System

by Stan Horzepa, WA1LOU

APRS is among the most popular activities using personal computers in ham radio applications. Getting started often requires little more than a VHF radio and computer. With a portable Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, you have precise position information at your fingertips. Connect the GPS receiver to your APRS station, and you can transmit your location information even as you're moving!

  • Track moving objects on maps (other stations, public service vehicles, marathon runners, etc.).
  • Display weather statistics and storm warnings.
  • Find a hidden transmitter or jammer.
  • Access the APRS network on the Internet (even without a radio!)

    The future for APRS applications seems limitless!

    In this book, you'll learn how to configure hardware and software to make the best use of your APRS station. Software examples include programs for Windows, Mac and Linux. Follow detailed discussions of APRS operation and technical support. To help you get stated, there's also a complete Glossary of Terms and a summary of APRS software commands.

    APRS -- Moving Hams on Radio and the Internet is the third APRS book written by QST columnist and ARRL author Stan Horzepa, WA1LOU.
