With me using D-Star it posts my location onto APRS online maps which is great but only works when you transmit onto a D-Star repeater. Is there anyway of adding a APRS unit to my station setup? Maybe Tiny Trac or something? If so what do I need?

Thanks

Thanks Simon,

I have the APRS or D-APRS working this end but you have to transmit into a D-Star repeater for it to show the location. As the D-Star repeater coverage is very limited in N Wales at the moment I am wondering if there is any way putting a Tiny-Track or something inline with the radio. This then transmits the location via becons along the road.

There is a way of using a PDA / GPRS but again I am not sure how it works.

Thanks,

Dave
