APRS Messaging

This system was designed to be super simple to send or receive messages. There is no need to remember Tactical callsigns, SSIDs, TNC settings, etc. The only thing you need to know is the other user's CallSign.

The system remembers your phone number and associates it with your callsign and your SSID or tactical callsign. It remembers the same info for the other users, so you dont have to guess what SSID they are using. Your phone number is kept private. Other users do not have access to your phone number at all.

No Confusing TNC Knowledge Rquired

Not trying to brag here, but I think of myself as pretty smart-ish.
I can do some pretty cool stuff with radios, electronics, computers and Legos, but I cant figure out a TNC.
Every one I have owned, came with 300 commands, confusing settings and they were never documented good and had no setup examples.
Thats why I made this service, to make APRS EASY TO USE. No special skill required.

How It Works

Using some nifty PHP code, the system does a few things.

  • Matches your Callsign, Call-SSID or Tactical Callsign, and Cellphone number, all stored in a database.
  • When you send a text, it verifies your phone number, matches callsign to it, gets the person you want to text to and sends the message to them (via APRS network), from your callsign.
  • It also looks for new messages in the APRS network every few min. When a message is found, it grabs it, checks to see if its a duplicate message. If its not a duplicate, it looks up your phone number, and sends a text to your phone.
