APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System) is a communication system to exchange
GPS location data and packet messages; it was developed and is supported by
Bob Bruninga (WB4APR). Position data may be entered manually in advance or
automatically from the built-in GPS satellite receiver.
When an APRS signal is received from a partner station, the direction, distance, speed
etc. of the partner station as seen from your own station will be shown on the display of
your transceiver.
