It looks like APRS has competition in the form of the CATS protocol. https://cats.radio/

Is there a node map, equivalent to aprs.fi for this protocol?

Check out this crazy #APRS #Packet #HamRadio path!

Are there any websites that provide text search of decoded #APRS packets? On aprs.fi it seems like you can only search by "originating station".

I received 8 stations on tonight's #ISS pass and also got digipeated from *inside the house* on the stock antenna of my TH-D75A. This is a lot of fun. It was raining so I decided not to go outside

Good #ISS pass with the TH-D75A and stock antenna on #APRS!

It's been a while, but I finally wrote a new #hamradio blog post on my blog. This one is about #LoRa #APRS logging and talks about a new site where you can learn about LoRa APRS activity!

I recently acquired a used Kenwood TH-D75A. #APRS reception and decode on this radio is way, way better than on my Yaesu FT-5DR. I expected this based on my past comparisons between Yaesu and Kenwood APRS capable radios. The difference is night and day.

I really do believe that the Kenwood APRS HTs have always been the best in terms of performance and features. And they have real, externally accessible TNCs, which is great for packet and #Winlink!

The Kenwood radios really are nice, but $$$

Woohoo! My upgraded APRS iGate is up & running for the first time! Now on a RPi 5 & using much-updated software.

I'm literally the only iGate in town now too.

I still need to do a lot of admin stuff:
- Figure out how to fit the new Pi into my stack of Pis with its different case
- Look up how to automatically send a command to kick everything off at startup instead of manually
- Customize the Pi settings to my prefs/needs and install a screen saver.

I finally got an #APRS station on the air. I have used my HT for years, but I finally have a base station.

I'd appreciate test messages or reports of seeing me online!

My mobile APRS Digipeter doesn’t look suspicious at all… once up and running it pulls 0.11 Amps. With that 4.5Amp battery it should last 36 hours at 90% efficiency give or take. I can’t imagine trying to take this on a plane! #bioenno #aprs #digipeter #digirig #amateurradio #hamradio #packetradio #direwolf #photo

Loving the #Kenwood TH-D75 #hamradio I picked up at #Hamcation, but it has a bit of a learning curve. I’ve figured out #aprs and listening on #dstar. Getting a successful transmission out on DSTAR has been a bit more challenging. #amateurradio

My APRS map from driving around Portland yesterday. Sometimes you have to change the "timerange" and "tail" settings in the url to get a complete picture. I wish there was an easier way to look back in time. Maybe there's a feature I've missed? #APRS #HamRadio

@ARISS_Intl is passing overhead in about 90 minutes. Still hunting this unicorn. Maybe today I can get in their station log.

To go with the AIS and ADS-B receivers, I got an iGate/Digipeater up and running with an old HT as an infill for the immediate area since the dense buildings make it hard for quieter stations to get out when they are in an inopportune location. #HamRadio #APRS
