What is APRS? The Automatic Position Reporting System (APRS) is a packet radio system used for tracking objects, including people, vehicles, boats, aircraft, manned/unmanned balloons, even cows; weather systems, or just about anything, using an Amateur Radio mode called unconnected (UI) packets.
APRS was developed by Bob Bruninga/WB4APR, and was first introduced to the Amateur Radio Community at the ARRL Computer Networking Conference in New Jersey in 1992. Over the past 12 years APRS usage has grown and expanded across the globe. Many new features and capabilities have been added since its inception.
