I’ll be honest with you – this isn’t the ‘Introduction to APRS’ you’ve been looking for… the one where Bob Bruninga WB4APR, the mode’s inventor, explains in step-by-step detail just how to get started and use APRS. Such a guide doesn’t exist that I know of, and the ones out there that come close are quickly out of date. What this is… is another version of Bob’s APRS talk, with bits and pieces of what APRS is, how it started, and where it’s going (or where it can go if Bob can talk you into doing more than watching little car icons drive around on a map). You will learn a lot… just not what you were hoping to get (sorry!). This is one of three talks Bob gave (all variations on the same theme) at the 2011 ARRL/TAPR DCC in Baltimore. At the end of this video is an informal discussion between Bob and John Gorkos AB0OO about John’s development of the AVRS, the Automatic Voice Relay System, another new development in APRS. John details AVRS is the 2011 DCC Sunday Seminar Part 3. I apologize in advance for the video quality. It’s not terrible, but it’s going to be hard to read some of the text on the screens. I was using ARVN’s ‘old’ camera, a standard-definition camera set for wide-screen, recording in the one-hour, lower quality mode. All my high-def cameras (all three of them) were tied up in the main DCC presentation room.

APRS-CE Sending/receiving locations, messages, and other data via amateur radio. Demo connection aprs-ce in IPAQ wince via tcp/ip – net.

OK, Bob Bruninga WB4APR basically has one presentation that he tweaks a little depending on the topic and the audience. He had three presentations at the DCC, and each was a variation on the same talk! This is #1. Than there’s the ‘Intro to APRS’ session, and his part of the Sunday Seminar. If you watch all three, you’ll get something new from each. And your head will be spinning.

This is a short video demo of the new APRS YAG Tracker developed by Remi Bilodeau VE2YAG in collaboration with RPC Electronics, LLC. More demo videos coming soon with voice over.
