[nrv-hams] Presentation on APRS for NRVARC

[Carter Craigie]

Hi Russ,
Just getting to look at this, due to being sick for so long. It looks like
you have already done some research on APRS, and are probably way ahead of
me, and my pitiful understanding of the matter.
73,
Carter

Please keep us all informed! I for one would love to learn a lot more then I
know about APRS, Echo Link, and IRLP.  While I have "dabbled" in all 3 of
them, I don't know a lot.  If anyone is interested, you can go
here<http://www.aprs.org/>to APRS.org to read up on some fine articles.
There is also a Yahoo group for not only APRS, but for all of the trackers
out there.  If you can solder a little, the Following links will bring you
to a couple of places that I have used before  and are good kits.
Argent Data, the open tracker <http://www.argentdata.com/> Byonics, home of
the Tiny Track 3&4& others. <http://www.byonics.com/> Tiny Track Wiki
<http://vk7hse.hobby-site.org/wiki/index.php/Tinytrak4v7>
Fund U a place to find yourself. <http://www.findu.com/> Echo Link
<http://echolink.org/> Is a VoiceOverIinternetProtocall or radio and VOIP,
also you can use it with your computer to make contacts around the world
without a radio.
IRLP which is a VOIP system <http://www.irlp.net/> which is kinda like Echo
Link, but you have to use a radio for access.
