General APRS Information

This page Overviews APRS, explains the NMEA serial data standard for Global Positioning data, and covers the various APRS station types.

In Wisconsin, we use Callsign-9 to desiginate a mobile station, my second car is Callsign-8.

Callsign-7 desiginates a user running a Kenwood D7 HT, or a D700 Mobile radio.

Callsign-10 desiginates a WIDE Node station, a second would be Callsign-11.

I use simply N9UUR on my home staition, and Callsign-1 for my home mail BBS.

From time to time you may see a N9UUR-5, this is the experimental, laptop portable station.
