VE6AB Mobile Ops
IPhone APRS Ops
So what your seeing here is a screen shot of my iPhone with the aprs.fi app displaying a birds-eye view of a track that was generated with my iPhone talking to my Mobilink tnc 3 paired with a Wouxun handi-talkie.
Now my mobile was playing a part in making this happen, as I had my Kenwood 710 (VE6AB-9) set up as a fill-in digipeater, as the Wouxun HT was not capable of reaching distant digipeaters, in this case the PIGEON digipeater seen in the photo.
I also was running RPR (robust packet radio) with my SCS tracker/Kenwood 480/Garmin 600/ combination, the results my VE6AB-15 seen on the screen.
I will be doing an extensive report on the iPhone/mobilinkd tnc 3/Wouxun/Kenwood D72/ combination soon. I recently upgraded the aprs.fi app, as it is now capable of everything you would wish out of an aprs app, with worldwide aprs capability via the APRS-IS network, keyboard messaging, and RF operations. the maps as you can see are second to none, with zoom capability allowing vehicles to be seen around your location while going down the road.
Expand the photo for a closer look.....
