What: Ham radio configuration. 

Details

This day is dedicated to configuring APRS location tracking enabled ham radios to transmit and receive locations. For those who want to overlay the location info to a map on an Android or tablet phone, then we will do that too. You will need some additional gear for the map overlaying.

  • Android device with GPS radio. Most Samsung, Google, and Motorola phones have them. So do most Samsung tablets like the Galaxy Tab A.
  • TNC-to-Bluetooth adapter with 12V power.
  • A subscription to Backcountry Navigator is installed on this device.
  • APRSDroid app is installed on this device.
  • A mount for this device. Try the Mount Builder by Ram-Mounts.
