Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS)
|
|
(also known as "Automatic Position Reporting System") is an
|
|
amateur radio based digital communication system for real-time
|
|
exchange of digital information to users on the network. APRS
|
|
was originally developed by Bob Bruninga, WB4APR more than 20
|
|
years ago. It has since evolved into a robust system of interconnected
|
|
networks. Xastir is a computer application that provides client
|
|
