Lynn Deffenbaugh #37822 开云体育 I do not know of a store-and-forward feature for APRS at this time.?? I seem to recall that someone was working on a mailbox-like feature, but I'm not sure now where I read about it or how it was going to work.

Demetre - SV1UY (M0SUY) All Messages By This Member #37823 Hi Hank, Yes it does if you use UI-View and an add-on called UI-Store & Forward. There is also a UI-BBS which works as a Bulletin Board. You can find this information here: I wish other developers (hint to Lynn Deffebaugh) would add this facility to their APRS Software because unfortunately G4IDE, author of UI-View is SK. Still there are many people still interested in UI-View and all it's add-ons and they keep UI-View alive. -- 73 de Demetre - SV1UY (M0SUY) INTERNET e-mail: demetre.sv1uy@...

John Madden All Messages By This Member #37824 开云体育 Check out APRS.wiki you can opt in to use it with both sms and mail. Mail is store and forward I know that. Not sure if SMS acts the same way.

Also is there an Internet server that does this? Could you give us an example? I would love to know how it is done! -- 73 de Demetre - SV1UY (M0SUY) INTERNET e-mail: demetre.sv1uy@...

John Madden All Messages By This Member #37826 开云体育 It’s the MAIL server on APRS. Yes it is two way. Just use Mail in the to section and put @N4EJM(for example) then the message. It’ll tell you if the message was sent to the designated call sign. You can use the SSID if you want but not sure it’s necessary.
