Hey, I'm Jared and I'm an amateur radio operator, callsign K0TFU. My local club is the Draper Ham Radio Association. Read more about me.

Get Started Quickly| Economical | less than $100 |
| Mid-range | $100 to $300 |
| Expensive | more than $300 |
Specifications, feature comparisons, reviews, and buying advice for handheld ham radios and antennas.
Read The GuideAPRS services, sometimes called bots, provide useful capabilities to operators via APRS messages.
I've been keeping my own personal list of useful bots and what their commands are. I'm throwing away my list.
Craig KM6LYW introduced me to the APRS Service Registry. The registry is much larger than my list, and has the benefit of being a resource for the entire community.
I have a proposal for a new APRS activity and supporting software called APRS On The Air. It brings the activator-and-chaser game of Parks on the Air and Summits on the Air to APRS.
Read the proposal at https://aprsota.org. I'm looking for feedback before I build the software.

They are on to Rev C with work on GNSS antenna improvements, audio codec changes, and more.
This is amazing work from a core team of only 3 people:
