[CRAPRS] My Tinytrak and APRS Mapping

[grlind at rockwellcollins.com]

Gary - 

I believe the problem is the lack of antenna... The systems seems to be 
working fine - I ordered and external antenna for the radio... 

I also located a dealer that said he had the correct plug for the charger 
port of the radio.. So we will see.. 


On to another topic ---

I was doing some search on the internet today and found some interesting 
presentation on mapping / APRS development software.. I was interested in 
your laptop software Uview? I was wondering is there some simple software 
to connect another TNC to a radio and receive the APRS signals and map 
locations? 

I was interested in the mapping software that would capture other APRS 
stations and show direction to other station and found some interesting 
stuff.. 

Microsoft also have some really nice maps has anyone seen the use of 
streets and trips and APRS? 

I saw a JAVA app last night that basically showed a direct beacon to other 
stations from your station..

A brief over view of APRS (Automatic Position Reporting System).  History, 
equipment, practical uses including uses during SAR (Search and Rescue)



See the following presentation... I am interested in trying this... 

This presentation is intended to show amateur radio operators how they can 
develop and host APRS information services using the digi_ned platform and 
Visual Studio Express.  Microsoft Visual Studio Express is a free, 
lightweight, and easy-to-use set of developer tools for the hobbyist.  The 
presentation will cover how to plug user written code into the digi_ned 
message pipeline, techniques for bridging APRS queries to internet web 
sites and services, and how to debug user code using the Visual Studio 
debugger.   During this session we will build a service from beginning to 
end, debug it, and put it on the air.
