aprx was originally a receive-only APRS iGate software, now extended to
|
|
do digipeating, and Tx-iGate. It works on any UNIX-like systems with
|
|
minimal requirements of system services, or system libraries beyond
|
|
basic POSIX libc.
|
|
|
|
The software is to be installed on a suitable UNIX-like system, and its
|
|
configuration file is then to be adjusted. Then it can:
|
|
* Handle arbitrary number of radio modems connected to itself
|
|
* Optionally relay APRS packets from radio receivers to APRS-IS
|
|
(http://www.aprs-is.net) network
|
|
* Optionally digipeat AX.25 packets with and without APRS NEWn-N
|
|
paradigm rules
|
|
* Optionally relay APRS packets from APRS-IS network to radio channel
|
|
(Tx-iGate)
|
|
|
|
This software is intended for very limited resources environment, like
|
|
small embedded-like machines barely able to run the operating system
|
|
with TCP/IP networking.
|
|
|
|
A receive-only Rx-iGate does not need any sort of licenses in most parts
|
|
of the world where radio amateur hobby is permitted to begin with.
|
|
|
|
On version 2, aprx has gotten the ability to do APRS Digipeater
|
|
function, Aprx Tx-iGate, as well as a variation of that called Viscous
|
|
APRS Digipeater, which is an excellent choice for a Fill-In digipeater
|
|
like on a mobile station. Viscousness means that it will listen for
|
|
other copies of same packet for a small configurable number of seconds,
|
|
and if it hears same packet only once, it will do normal digipeating for
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
aprx can optionally be used with soundmodem in place of a hardware TNC.
