Services You Didn't Know Existed on APRS!

[@georgedandrade-hp1gds296]

Excelent video explaining many of the aprs services. Some I have heard others no knowledge about them. Very practical use.

[@SignalsEverywhere]

Glad you gained something from it :) thanks for watching!

There is some weird squawking on GMRS 7 in the Toronto area, I can hear it around the west end of the GTA, every 10 min it squawks 5 times Some one told me they think it’s some sort of sprinkler system??? Unless it very common (but I cannot find any evidence online) it must be very powerful since I can here it over a 30 KM Range Anyway not related but the mention of “bots” on radio reminded me of this

[@SignalsEverywhere]

Always fun when you find something interesting, may be worth doing an RDF one day?

[@K6SUD]

Great video. Ty!

[@SignalsEverywhere]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@yv6eda]

Great "Service" to us! Thanks

[@SignalsEverywhere]

Thank you :)

[@BenKnisley]

This looks fun. Just what I needed to get back into radio.

[@SignalsEverywhere]

Glad to hear it!

[@stevenwright991]

Cool video 😊👍

[@bradgreenwood2588]

Good Info!

[@SignalsEverywhere]

Glad you liked it!

[@grumble2009]

Thanks for the video! I've got two questions: what sort of APRS paths are you using with these services? And what's that slick PC app that you're using? Thank you!

[@SignalsEverywhere]

The application is APRSISCE/32 and I'm using the IS connection in the video to ensure things ran smoothly during recording. My usual path is WIDE1-1 though, we have a local Digi/iGate but it gets congested.

[@nerdinium]

Very cool. Im retired and want to camp out in the boonies, outside of cell range, and APRS could give me at least minimal connectivity out there. 👍🏻

[@TalmidAndy]

There have been bots, of the malicious variety, on APRS/WSPR/JT8 and many of the other automated data modes for a while. It is getting to the point that there are as many bot and fake callsigns as there are actual hams or real traffic.

[@SignalsEverywhere]

I've been waiting to see some more devious uses of the network I'm sure it happens, but it's also easy enough to monitor that I think a lot of that traffic gets caught, though I'm sure a lot of it sneaks by too. I always found it odd that bots were wrong without call signs, I get it in terms of making it easier for users to find it but that's not a call sign and I'm not sure how exactly that works from a legal standpoint on the amateur bands.

[@ghostmandka5498]

What software are you using? Thanks for the video.

[@SignalsEverywhere]

APRSISCE 32

[@rickinmi]

Nic vid. Quick and to the point. Looks like you organized your thoughts well. Or maybe you are inherently organized? Either way, thanks for the good info!

[@SignalsEverywhere]

Editing magic, can't say I'm all that organized but I try 😂

[@thuff3207]

Nice setup and what app are you using to send messaging.

[@SignalsEverywhere]

APRSISCE 32

[@MrPixotic]

Do I hear some kind of gameplay audio in the background? :D

[@MrPixotic]

Sounds like some kinda fantasy combat like swords clashing. Maybe I'm just weird 🤣

[@SignalsEverywhere]

No you called it, my partner was totally playing Spyro. I have a directional microphone and I thought I was lucky enough to not capture it.

[@MrPixotic]

@@SignalsEverywhere I love it, don't stress over it :D

[@UNcommonSenseAUS]

Cool

[@mrtechie6810]

H-mas supporters leave antisemitic terror threats on APRS here.

[@SignalsEverywhere]

I have seen some nasty stuff just monitoring messages, just people being nasty to others in various ways. It's sad really.

[@UNcommonSenseAUS]

Pattern recognition is not antisemitic. Antisemitisim is a catch all excuse for anything a certian group does based on a fabricated event in the 2nd world war

[@kc8owl]

Hello from a former NE Ohio person. Great video, and thank you for calling out #APRSTHURSDAY. 73 kc8owl

[@SignalsEverywhere]

Happy to do it, #APRSTHURSDAY is always fun, maybe I'll record it next time and make a video of it.
