it will be a standlone system bluetoothed to a tablet. I have a 2m/70cm that is my primary.

Ok, I read that the ISS APRS / packet frequency is 145.825. Also, I read that in some extra urban areas 144.99 is used and then digipeated to 144.39. 144.99 was proposed as an alternate input channel by Bob Bruninga. http://www.aprs.org/APRS14499.txt and http://www.aprs.org/alt-99digis.txt...

I am hearing the radio will program down the 144.39 without issue. Can you think of any other channels i should have programed in, since I wont be programming this myself, most likely? I am thinking the simplex call frequency, but not sure what else would be good to have in there (just in case).

ok, after a little research (still waiting on replies from maxtrac seller and the hammadeparts guys) I see that hammadeparts sells an 8 pin RJ45 > TRRS 3.5 cable that looks like it could be used to connect to the mobilinkD on a maxtrac with a 5 pin accessory connector. essentially just using the...

yep. will look into that cable guy. have contacted him via ebay.

I went with a Samlex 160 ACR (it is a dual voltage sensing relay) that i found with an open box price on Amazon Marketplace. Works perfectly, and use my own $5 switch to make it switchable and can do self jump. That, with a solar charge controller and a 100watt panel, and I am all set.

Got the 2m/70cm antenna mounted.

Awesome. I flew from NC to Tucson to pick mine up.

I've used an Baofeng HT plugged directly into an old android phone running aprsdroid and it worked ok, but didnt reach many digipeaters and t has an issue with not picking up all packets due to it's speed. I am thinking this maxtrac will be a rugged, simple solution with a mag mount antenna i...

oh, ha ! yeah. i literally get lost in abbreviations and such. thanks.

cool. yeah. i think it is definitely doable with the maxtrac. And as for gaia, i think we need more people requesting the APRS integration. What is ISS?

Been thinking about a standalone APRS system in my truck that doesnt use a handheld. So far I am considering a MobilinkD (bluetoothed to the tablet/phone used for navigation with Gaia), and an old VHF Motorola Maxtrac. The MobilinkD now has the capability of turning on (and off) automatically...

trailbehind, As a person who travels (and lives and teaches) extensively from my truck and now uses Gaia on Android devices, as well as being a licensed ham operator, I would like to request inclusion of APRS mapping into Gaia. Backcountry Navigator just began including it by interfacing with...
