taco6513 Posted September 17, 2021 Report Posted September 17, 2021 I would like to set up an APRS IGate to go with my mobile repeater. Are these hard to set up? Is there a complete plug and play version or do you have to build them? Thanks KI5GXD Quote
tweiss3 Posted September 17, 2021 Report Posted September 17, 2021 It's not too bad. You need a radio (power supply, antenna, coax), I used Direwolf on a Raspberry Pi4, you need an audio card, and a way to hit PTT, or use VOX on the radio. This is the writeup I did about my iGate: https://www.ke8owx.com/projects/aprs. Mine is a 2-way, but has digipeating turned off. Quote
gortex2 Posted September 18, 2021 Report Posted September 18, 2021 Search for "5-in-1 NET 51TNC APRS WX/iGate/digipeater/Tracker/TNC/Bluetooth device ham radio" on ebay. Its basically a plug and play TNC. Used for for a bit but my digi doens't have trouble getting to another Igate so sent to to a buddy. Quote
