Mobile APRS Station

A mobile APRS station periodically sends its position while a vehicle is moving. Other operators can see the station on compatible maps and may exchange short messages.

  • A transceiver or APRS-capable tracker
  • GPS position source
  • Antenna suited to the vehicle
  • Sensible beaconing configuration

Start with conservative beacon rates and verify what your local network can hear.
