Proving K8MRD wrong about APRS one video at a time. Seriously though, this is very cool information. Amazing service for the radio community!

[@KM4ACK]

😂😂😂

[@ghostmandka5498]

We need to drop a truckload of likes for this.

[@KM6LYW]

Great work Jason! Thanks for supporting WebChat too!

[@KM4ACK]

WebChat is an AWESOME tool! Still trying to figure out a few things but overall it's working great :-)

[@kevinshumaker3753]

Another truly awesome bit of info / usage for HAMs, sir, Thanks Kevin -- KD9EFV

[@matsherwood6277]

This is so cool! I'm looking forward to playing with this with my new to me yaesu ft2dr.

[@thuff3207]

Thank you APRS just keeps getting better and better. I love all the bots now out there for APRS.

[@KM4ACK]

Couldn't agree more!

[@jarredjones8476]

Tried these tonight on my vrn 7500 and they worked now.. neat stuff

[@DonzLockz]

Thats awesome Jason. I need to catch up on your videos and checkout this new voodoo magic. 😁👍

[@rohnkd4hct260]

will check into it

[@LifeAtTerminalVelocity]

Dude that rocks!

[@temporarilyoffline]

This webchat is what I've wanted from APRS for a long time

[@KM4ACK]

Here's an installer script I wrote for WebChat. Link to Craig's original code in the readme - github.com/km4ack/webchat

[@temporarilyoffline]

Thanks! I think I have a Pi I can put this on! Now, where's my radio??? @@KM4ACK

[@KI4ASK]

Very cool, didn’t know about this either.

[@gregorysmith3097]

Another great video. Every video, I learn so much. I never had any interest in 2M, but you just come up with cooler and cooler stuff to do. Any chance you can do a "getting started with 2M" video? Like how you actually talk on 2M, what all you can do on 2M, of course it can just be links to your videos.

[@KM4ACK]

Here's a few I have done in the past - kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4jHi4ONn51jl9U kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqXcaXuqnb-FqLc kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJ7NYWpqi7eIbq8

Pretty cool, thanks

🤣😂🤣

[@hawkeyeCH53E]

Jason could you or Craig show how to install it like you are showing it. I have it loaded from his digipi on a pi 2 zero W. Your setup isn’t script / GUI based like his. Wondering if I can do an install on top of your BAP / 73 Linux.

[@KM4ACK]

hang in there. video coming soon :-)

[@calvinkutemeier393]

@@KM4ACK Thanks. I have been pulling out my hair trying to get this to work on a RPi

[@californiakayaker]

I have friends who would need it to work for HF !

[@KM4ACK]

understand. not good if you don't have good local 2M APRS coverage.

[@ScottDrumm]

Is the MPAD service still working? All of my APRS messages timeout without even a single ACK. 🤔

[@KM4ACK]

Not sure of the status. It went down shortly after this video but then came back a week later. Now down again.

[@Sean-AI7EQ]

This is a very interesting tool. I tried sending a couple of requests via my FT-5D but have not gotten any responses back. Is there anything one needs to do before using it via RF?

[@KM4ACK]

shouldn't need to do anything. Educated guess says your aren't being heard by a digi. Is your HT showing up on aprs.fi? If not, your HT isn't being heard.

[@John-KN2X]

Cool video. MPAD does not appear to be responding to any stations today, just fyi@@KM4ACK

[@adams131]

Same issue here. Using my FT5D I have no issues connecting to WXBOT, WLNK-1, or REPEAT, but zero luck so far connecting to MPAD.

[@Sean-AI7EQ]

@@adams131 I am having the same situation as you with the same radio. If you find a solution please let me know. The MPAD service seems like it would be very handy to have access to.

[@magwhyte]

Does this service work via APRSDroid? Thanks!

[@KM4ACK]

Yes. Any APRS capable messaging device.

[@jarredjones8476]

Didn't work on my aprsdroid or on my VGC 75000 unless I'm missing something

[@magwhyte]

​@@jarredjones8476No joy here. Hopefully a solution becomes apparent as this really makes APRS useful.

[@CJburk]

No luck on APRS droid on RF or using the Internet setting

[@nathanlynch8563]

​@@jarredjones8476 MPAD service is working with aprsdroid as of 10/20/23. It has not been working for the past few weeks, possibly the service was offline??

[@daomingjin]

nashvull lol

[@RynardMooreVstar1]

Hummmm, what's that again about APRS being useless? Seriously, though -- this is way too cool.

[@todop]

Aprs is good location messages weather, but its not as as common, you need diy stuff or expensive. I hope the smarter the radios become, itwill be included

[@RichardHarrison2014]

What is up with the advertisements? Far to many.

[@KM4ACK]

YT controls that.

[@DonzLockz]

Ad's bothered me too much so I bought Premium, I can't go back to Ad's. It also has extra features, well worth it for me. :)

[@CJburk]

I use the Brave browser on my phone and use the website to watch KZbin vs using the app. No more ads
