Hi All, I have been running UI-VIEW for a while now and I find it a very good programme but we could do with a lot more Stations in the WEST as all I tend to see is all the same old stations down here in Sunny old Bournemouth.....


Also i would like some information on running APRS as i know nothing about it..

Do i need software to run it and where do i get it from..........

Any Info would be great

If you've been running UI-View then you've been running APRS. UI-View is
an implementation of APRS.

To find out more about APRS, take a look at the draft APRS Protocol
Specification:

Hi Roy. The *system* is called APRS (Automatic Position Reporting
System).

There are several *implementations* of the system:

Program Platform
========== =========
UI-View Win 95/98
WinAPRS Win 95/98
MacAPRS MAC
pocketAPRS Palm
Xastir Linux

All of these *implementations* of APRS conform (more-or-less) to the
APRS Protocol Specification. Thus (in theory) anyone using UI-View
should be able to understand anyone using WinAPRS or MacAPRS or ... etc.

UI-View is by far the most popular implementation of APRS here in the
UK, and is rapidly gaining acceptance in the United States as well
(WinAPRS is the most popular Windows version in the USA today, but it
has an awful user interface. Also, WinAPRS is crippled until you pay the
$50 registration fee, whereas UI-View is fully functional even if you
don't pay the 10 ($16) registration fee -- with UI-View now on the
scene, the days of WinAPRS are surely numbered).

Doesn't Win 3.1/3.11 get a mention? Afterall many of us are using it on this
platform.

WinAPRS Win 95/98
MacAPRS MAC
pocketAPRS Palm
Xastir Linux
