The 440 aprs packet frequency used is 445.925. In some areas, its dead quiet, in some its packed. But there are 440 freqs to use aprs. It just means you have better propagation, no collisions and as

Is it interoperable with the AMBE CHIP embedded radios? Respectfully Perry Chamberlain

Hi Sander, Maybe I can clarify this a little bit. If you look at the wiki information in the link you included, 144.39 nor 1200 baud is universally used for APRS or igates. You will find there are

tizen.org is a fascinating project, joined by some big players like Samsung, to foster development of Linux across a wide spectrum of applications and devices. A project like that reinforces the

I will tune my igate to 445.925 and see what I pick up over the next few days. Near as I can tell all local (CT/NY area) users are on 144.390 but maybe I'm missing out on a lot of traffic. I

Is anyone from the Statesboro-Savannah (GA-USA) area involved yet? Integrated APRS/D-Star systems sound like an excellent redundant-wireless communication network to backstop vulnerable wired,

That is a great idea, nice........... Im liking it even more . He said: "Here's the good news though. If you have a current igate on 2m, you can replace the computer with a UDR56K, attach a

No 1200 baud? :-( True it's overkill for a UDR but it could be useful at times... Bill

The icom ID-31A has built in gps, and its already forwarding Dprs packets under dstar, to the findu IS. But this radio looks like it will have so many more uses. Hope it doesnt take too long for

No it is not, Craig

Byonics tried to get a line of 440mhz trackers up, but no one was interested. Maybe now. Respectfully Perry Chamberlain

I don't think there is a 'universal' APRS channel for 70cm, like 144.39 is for 2m. Here in the Northwest, we use 440.800 for 9k6 APRS. Not sure how official this list is, but it provides other

I went to Dayton and the one thing on my shopping list was an ID-31A (I have 3 other D-STAR radios). I won an ID-31A as a door prize at the D-STAR Pizza dinner Thursday night! Great little handheld.

I agree that's a great feature. I think Kenwood missed an opportunity with the D72 to do the same. How easy would it have been to allow coordinates to be stored with memory items and then show

Those who have gone through the last 3 iterations of MS versions of windows can now easily be told (and understand) that "Adjusting to Linux is just like adjusting to Vista after you were used to

Although this is something that should have been done ten years ago, and is cool amateur radio engineering, the hundreds, and hundreds of thousands of dollars that has been spent on the AMBE CODEC

Not directly, no. It is possible to communicate between them with software acting as a bridge between the two, though I haven't actually written the application that will do so. I am also thinking of

CODEC 2 is currently missing any FEC, and will not operate down at the required bit-rate to be usable in D-Star. It’s getting there, but I think it has a way to go so don’t expect a swap-out any

OK now you're talking politics. I do have a bridge running between D-Star and Echolink, but there are some admin areas that need to be fixed especially around identification. The audio quality
