Interest in packet radio and its use of TCP/IP led me to getting my license. Once I got my ticket (N3NYN), I started tinkering with APRS
APRS Stuff
Since I'm a UNIX fan, I also run Xastir to do all my APRS tracking. It's an open source application that use X/Motif. It has lots of cool map options.
GPS
At last count I was up to 8 GPS systems.
- A Garmin III plus and a Garmin Trex Vista for handheld navigation.
- Two Motorola units used for Pulse per Second (PPS) timing for Network Time Protocol (NTP).
- Two RPI based NTP servers using dedicated GPS receivers.
- Two Motorola units used for APRS
