[GCARC] APRS Pi

[Jon Pearce]

Yeah, and the receive function of Direwolf can easily be implemented using a SDR radio (much easier than connecting to a transceiver). Participants at the SDR Tech Saturday in 2019 actually built these devices during that event using a Raspberry Pi - the SDR and PI together cost about $75 so it's a pretty cheap project. You can also run the Xastir software on top of Direwolf to give a visual display of the location of each of the APRS stations, which is done in many EMCOM situations. Direwolf also spits out a log of each received packet so Python programmers could import that log and do all sorts of interesting stuff like Chris suggested. The ISS and the NO-84 satellite also have APRS stations so APRS sources aren't necessarily terrestrial.
