I played around with this exact thing on Friday. I was able to get my radio connected to the Pi via Bluetooth, and I got it to send enough data to connect to the RMS Gateway. Once connected though, it would get hung up and sit there indefinitely.?

I followed this guide ?starting with the section axports file. You may choose to follow the full guide, but this is what I did to get the radio paired to the Raspberry Pi. I installed Blueman and connected via the icon from the menu bar rather than the command line. To install, run the following commands:

sudo apt-get install bluetooth bluez blueman
sudo reboot

After that installed and rebooted, there was a new Bluetooth icon on the menu bar. I connected the radio to the serial port, which I believe pops up as rfcomm0 once connected.

From there, just follow the guide. From the Pat interface, you'll want to connect using AX25. Like I said though, I wasn't able to get any further than Pat confirming it had connected to the RMS Gateway. I don't know if it was something on my end or the other end. I'll have to play around with it some more. And you'll have to let us know if you have any success as well!

Could this also be used for the Pi-APRS app?

Not without modifying the Pi-APRS source code. Pi-APRS uses direwolf as the TNC. Since the radio has a hardware TNC, you wouldn't be able to use it along with direwolf.
