Many thanks to KO4SSD for his help yesterday.  I got APRS (Automated Packet Reporting System) working on all 3 of my radios (Icom IC-705, Yaesu VX-8DR, Baofeng DMR-6X2)

You can see where my radios are in real-time from http://aprs.fi as KO4ZSY on APRS.fi

NOTE: I’m updating my APRS config to use a dog icon instead of a Mac apple icon, working on changing the Comment dynamically based on which radio I’m transmitting from, not sure if I’ll include weather data (which I have from my backyard weather station as KVASTERL93)

  • The IC-705 adds features like Bluetooth, APRS, D-STAR, and WLAN. From HF to 50/144/440 MHz, you can enjoy a variety of modes: D-STAR, SSB, CW, RTTY, AM and FM. Like the 7300, it’s already equipped for working digital modes like FT-8, JT-65, and others.
