Firenet. APRS regular traffic plus lots of other objects, including
fires, quakes, many more weather stations, river gages...

I came across a couple of APRS things called 'Anti Tracker'. If I
understand this correctly, these things will display APRS objects on the
GPS map display? If that is how it works, what does the GPWPL NMEA
sentence do? Does it simply place object on the map display or does it
actually create permanently stores waypoints?
Just curious, I have 2 GPSs a Garmin 12 for handheld operation and a
Garmin 72 in the vehicle. It would certainly be nice to be a ble to others
in the neighbourhood by just using the existing GPS display.
I thought of using a 'full-blown' APRS setup with TNC, GPS and notebook
running Xastir. It's bulky but possible in the vehicle but certainly not
practical portable.

I was rather surprised to find little commentary on the lead article in last
month's QST. It was an excellently written and well presented discussion of
APRS by one of the APRS stalwarts, Rich Parry, W9IF.
Rich (hopefully you are subscribed to the list), let me publicly -- although
belatedly -- applaud you for the article and work. Though it deals with an
aspect of APRS that I don't have time to explore right now...I was impressed
when looking it over. Well done, and thanks in behalf of the APRS community!
Warm regards,
Ev Tupis, W2EV

Come, join us!

Yeah...with three frequencies, we're spread a little thin...but it's fun. :)
Btw...so far NO meteor success has been officially documented on 28.128 to
my knowledge. It may be related to doppler and the tones shifting (it's
SSB, not FM). It's been a fascinating study over the years.
Participation hint: If you are using UI-View...and you have a problem
operating during the family's "awake time" due to interfering with the TV,
etc... then operate in KISS mode and put the TNC on an A/C timer. Auto
power-on at midnight and operate until 8:00 or 9:00 in the morning local
time. That is the time for best mean opportunity to find meteor success.
The TNC will power off in KISS mode and power back on in KISS mode.

No major revelation...
It is quite hot in Arizona during the day, so I was out for a stroll here
in the city about 3 am. Even with a full moon, there were long visible
trails all over the sky.
Kinda neat.
(Never attempted meteor scatter, maybe some day.)

I can confirm that RadioRaft does decode most of the transmitted DSC
packet. It obviously does not parse the sentence. The format is somewhat
complex. Take a look at: http://www.gmdss.com.au/dsc.htm
The data rate is 600 bits per second, however not every packet contains the
same setup of data. One of the unique features of DSC is the ability to
POLL other vessels (using their 9 digit MMSI code) and request their
position! shades of APRS. Not all vessels have Marine VHF radios that
provide connections to GPS receivers.
I purchased an ICOM M602 marine VHF radio several months ago for my
sailboat. I didnot want to install a SECOND GPS receiver, with external
antenna, at my Nav station I already have a GPS receiver feeding into my
laptop to provide position data for my navigation program. So I have been
attempting to feed APRS data from my laptop to the M602. As a consequence I
have been integrating the system here in my shack. I live on a canal
opening into Tampa Bay. There are DSC packets every 3-4 minutes. Of roughly
50 recorded transmissions 3 or 4 will contain LAT/LON data. Some show two
decimal minutes others three, while others show seconds!
The length ot data in the message frame varies greatly but also contains
symbols that are not discernable and MUST be a characteristic of the
particular radio model and/or manfacturer.
I am looking for NMEA repeater software that can possibly send the LAT/LON
to the M602. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
