I was just sitting at my desk with mt FT3D when I received a SMS from a Pilot at 38,000 feet saying "I hope you have a good day" best SMS message ever!

We need more people like you to help explain what Amateur Radio Users can and cannot do. Classes are generally useless at explaining general practices for users, and only good for passing tests. Keep up the good work- KC1KLE

Anyone can always listen. You don't need a ham license to listen. Only to transmit.

I used APRS to text a random guy in Ireland from the US!

illBeets I was in the military but made the contact with my ham radio call of HL9RY. The contact was made 16 October 1986 at 0920UTC on 20 meters with Jojo, YB9ZW in Indonesia. Two days later I had a contact with JA3YAA who is a very well know contester from Japan.

dude this is dope. I think Im getting it now So basically lets say your out camping and there is crap cell service and no internet. You can use this to relay information over the airwaves using it as the dataline basically? As long as you can hit a repeater from where you are and have it all properly set up you can use this for forwarding message data, your given location and more? This stuff is so fun and interesting to learn about.

FINALY. you have a use for that albatross. I call them corvairs® rock on my man .tks got a nest of dragons (baofing) here..

great vid. wbat's your baofeng's volume level set at?

Good make

Im in Canada and I received a packet from the west coast of Australia

Thank you for this great video on APRS. Just getting impatient to try this out. Still waiting for my Amateur Radio results for which I had appeared on 16th Dec'19. By the way, in one of your previous videos, the Baofeng uv5r including all its genres were criticised for harmonic emissions as per the FCC standards. With reference to your this video, does it now means that all the new UV5R and other Baofeng ht models have been re-engineered to comply with the FCC laws? Thank you & 73

I tested the latest Baofeng here kzread.info/dash/bejne/jKSG1at-m9Knirw.html and it failed on VHF. If you notice in this video I do not transmit, I setup the video to be a receive only demonstration. If I want to transmit I use my Kenwood with built in APRS. Hope you get your results soon.

@@HamRadioInAction Yes, have noticed that the Baofeng UV5R ht in the video was only used for the APRS receiving and not for tx. However, mounting the Diamond whip antennae on the UV5R made it really look gorgeous. Here, in Delhi, India I had spoken to few senior Hams about the harmonics created by the Baofeng-line of HTs, but they said that a filter is available that can block such emissions. However, would love to do the experiments and report the outcome in this awesome Ham forum only after my tech results are declared. Until then have to only watch videos and listen to experienced radio operators:) 73

I remember as a kid in the 80s a friend of mine and his dad used to get apple video games through ham radio.

Hi, can you review one of those replica AN/PRC-152A 10 Watt radio`s? Are those radio`s any good?

Nice video! Can this set up also allow sending msg and email through I gate?

Yes, the outside air temperature at 80,000 feet would be . . . pretty cool. I see what you did there ;-)

Do you have to use a cable? I've been messing around with aprsdroid on my galaxy note 10plus wanting to catch local stuff but all I can get it to do is show stations on aprs-is, I don't even need my radio in that case.

5:20 does the APRSPro app support offline maps?

Boss im radio Baofeng GT3 TP III is possible you create video for this radio

5:50 can you TX APRS via APRSpro app? (ie TX via radio RF to a digipeater) or do you need a TNC like the Mobilinkd?

In the US you need a license to transmit on the 2 meter band. Watch videos to learn more about licensing. Go here to find a test near you. www.arrl.org/find-an-amateur-radio-license-exam-session

Can you link to that antenna that you’re using? TIA

Exactly the solution I have been looking for to find my beacon! Does APRS Pro have an Android version available? It appears to be Mac specific.

It depends on the app. If the app can generate the FSK then you can use the speaker while holding PTT. The unnamed app I use has in app purchase option for transmit. I’ve used it. It works.

Hello Brian, I am new to the HAM radio world (still studying to get my license). I wanted to get some clarification on APRS. I plan on going on disperse camping where time to time i will have no signal on my phone. In the case of an emergency i am aware i can contact others with a HAM radio and being able to provide my coordinates will come in handy. Will APRS provide me with coordinates?

See if you have menu item 18 18 SC-REV Scan Resume Method -- TO (Time Operation) Scan stops when signal detected. Scan resumes after approximately 5 seconds (even if the channel is still active). -- CO (Carrier Operation) Scan stops when signal detected. Scan resumes when signal disappears. -- SE (Search Operation) Scan stops when signal detected. Scanning will not resume.

Anyone using APRS Pro (used in the video) figure out how to clear the map? Default has the packets coming in from the internet. Within 30 seconds I had so many markers cluttering up the map I couldn’t stand it. After I turned the internet packets off, the junk was still there. I wanted a fresh map to work with. Then start gathering packets from the airwaves.

How about android phones? Which app should we use? thanks
