Obviously from your tracking, you live just around the corner from me (Orchid Park),
What equipment are you using?

I just noticed the marine traffic extends down to Albany, thanks to whoever is responsible.
EDIT: And the North West too ..... very busy up there.

Re: APRS - spy on me while I drive
Can you answer a question that i have
i am in the middle of upgrading to Standard and i am going to get a new mobile radio soon
i want one that is aprs (or equivilant) in the new radio.
Do the Icom D-star radios also the same thing as the Yeesu radios that are aprs/wires capable ?
i dont know that much about this new stuff - dont shoot me down - but i would like to know the most i can about it so i can make an informed choice on a radio suitable to my needs
i am familiar with icom radios - never touched a yaesu radio as yet - hence my questions.
thanks for your time and reply
cheers

Re: APRS - spy on me while I drive
As far as I know:
- D-STAR has DPRS. I don't know if it links or can be linked into the local APRS freq or not. It does link into aprs.fi
- Some Kenwood mobiles have APRS built in.. look at the TM-D710A. I think you need a GPS receiver?

Re: APRS - spy on me while I drive
Yep, it also needs a GPS receiver plugged into it, but they're a good unit.robbage wrote: - Some Kenwood mobiles have APRS built in.. look at the TM-D710A. I think you need a GPS receiver?
That new Yaesu you mentioned a short time ago Robbage also has the APRS stuff built in - the FTM-350R

Oh yeah. I think the GPS is an option on that one as well.

Re: APRS - spy on me while I drive
so would i be right in saying (or guessing)..
that provided the radio unit either has a gps in it/attached to it - the service of "WIRES/D-Star/APRS" are all the same function - just different names depending on the manufacturer???
whatever radio i choose - as long as it has "WIRES/D-Star/APRS" capability - i too can be spied on whilst i drive too ? (when i upgrade my licence)....
i find this new topic interesting and has opened up another new world....

You want an APRS radio and GPS if you want to be tracked.
