Subject: [aprssig] aprs event next weekend.
Next sunday, Jan 28th we will be using APRS to track the last rider in a
motocross enduro race. I have programmed a tinytrak with a pushbutton such
that it will squawk an ambulance and a mic-e emergency packet when pushed.
The callsign will be ai4px-11. We will be running the event on
144.99mhzand setting up temporary digi's around the course. It may be that
these packets get gated to 144.39 and onto the network feed, so if you see
an emergency packet from ai4px-11, don't worry, we've got it covered. I've
programmed the beacon text with "this is a test" so people won't get too
wound up trying to respond.... we'll have 15 some-odd hams on site
helping.
Last year we used this same tracker to report 7 or 8 bikes that had
brokendown and even had to airlift a guy out who broke his femur.
By the way, the reason I'm using "emergency" mic-e packet is to make darned
sure that the kenwood d700's running around mobile get everyone's
attention. Does anyone know if the d700 will beep for "priority" type
packet? What about xastir?

Hi Julien,
It is great to read what hams around the world are doing with APRS. Most of
us don't read the manuals for our radios or TNCs. Some of us are
intimidated by their hundreds of commands. A few of us depend on what we
read here to configure and troubleshoot our APRS stations. Our radios are
indeed underutilized and we waste more than just bandwidth. You have
something to contribute, so please share your info. Let us know how you are
using APRS and what you discovered about the D7 and radio to radio
messaging.
We value your input from the Islands, not just your DX QSLs.
73,
Ian N3CVA
It is easier to criticize than to understand.

I guess the reasoning here goes something like this: if you are on the
water in the cockpit/bridge of a boat/ship, then AIS is good for you. But
you shouldn't be looking at the ship icons moving on your home computer
screen, or you'll turn into (or help) a terrorist or pirate. I guess those
who think like this haven't realized that anyone, even a terrorist, can go
to a boating store and buy an AIS receiver of his own for a few hundred
euros and just use that.

It won't do AIS on its own. But you can use the 9600 bps data connector on
the TM-D700 to output the AIS "audio" and feed it to e.g. shipplotter
running on a computer.
