  1. Does anyone know the best budget way to make a LoRA APRS mobile tracker? Can only find the heltec tracker on 433mhz on AliExpress haha, was wondering if anyone has experience with it.

  3. Wo bei meinem T114 jetzt das Display "Schrott" ist, das Gehäuse hat wohl die Tage bei der Hitze sich verformt und zu viel Druck ausgeübt, brauche ich was neues im Auto. Ich schwanke momentan zwischen einem Heltec Wireless Tracker und einem Lilygo T-Beam Supreme uBlox. Welcher taugt mehr für Anwendung im Auto, gibt es bei Bestellung irgendwelche Sachen beim Zoll jetzt zu beachten?

  4. I'm back in Bellevue, WA after a 60 hour Amtrak ride DEN -> SCA -> SEA

    I left an LoRa APRS iGate and Meshtastic node in Lakewood, CO No worries about the WA4OSH-20 SSID, it's on APRS-IS network.

    100% AX.25 Packet radio was invented in 1978's after I got my HAM license 50 years ago.

    It was a point-to point network with digipeaters in the middle. The first TNCs were designed by #TAPR in 1983.

    Bob Bruninga took AX.25 packet and confined it to mostly a weather station and GPS tracker protocol (on the left).

    #LoRaAPRS was the initial work of Peter Buchegger OE5BPA, Bernd Gasser OE1ACM, Christoph Gasser OE1CGC and Christian Johan Bauer OE3CJB. That's the vision on the right.

    Stetryczaly, I'm curious. How formal is your #LoRaAPRS development? Did you write a Systems Requirements Document and a Systems Design Document? Or is this an Agile project where the architecture and software just evolve?

  9. @rocking_horse #Reticulum seems to be non-ham radio protocol. It's purpose is to send traffic over all sorts of different PHY layers. It's distributed and encrypted. There are more #preppers than there are HAMs

    #LoRaWAN is an unlicensed IT protocol maintained by the LoRa Alliance. Not #HAM radio

    #LoRaAPRS originated in Austria. I helped translate German documentation into English and Spanish to bring it to ITU region 2. It's more wide-spread in Spanish speaking countries than the US.

    I fully agree with you that the AX.25 / APRS (Bob Bruninga's implentation of AS.25) standard only supports SSIDs numbered 0-15. It's a radio protocol.

    However, an iGate is an internet device. It never hears the tracker's RF transmission. It's not the destination of packets.

    On APRS.fi / internet side: Anything goes — higher SSIDs (or even letters) are fully supported and displayed because it's all text over the 'net, not constrained by the ancient 4-bit field.

  12. @Aegewsh

    My #LoRaAPRS nodes are CA2RXU based. It would be useful to also be able to message to and from, monitor as well as admin those nodes as well.

    Is the limit of SSID 0 (or none) to 15 overly restrictive? My LoRaAPRS igate is on SSID 20. I receive traffic from other nearby SSID's here in the front range of Colorado also out of the 0-15 SSID range. Eg. WD4IXD-40

    Go to APRS.fi and search for WA4OSH* then look at the info page.

  13. Surprisingly (at least for me) #Reticulum is more known than #LoRaWAN and #LoRaAPRS not much less

  15. Well I've determined it's a problem with the board, so that one will be the iGate. #lora #aprs #loraaprs

  16. So I got around to flashing the T-Beam v1.2 433mhz board I received with CA2RXU's tracker firmware, and it's running fine except no GPS. Not sure if I have a bad unit, bug or configuration problem. #lora #aprs #loraaprs

    Found out the hard way today that those #lilygo devices like T-Beam have wifi, but not on 5GHz

    Good news is that 1 station received my beacons from work qth ground floor, small aerial for #70cm that came with the device.

    Wonder what freq on 2 and 23 and 13 cm we can use for #lora and #loraaprs

    Today for the first time my igate got on to the general aprs.fi map!

  19. @F4EGX_Nico oh is there an #loraaprs frequency on ism 868 for #aprs like 433775 on 70cm?

  21. #LoRaAPRS first transmit
    #hamradio #70cm

    Still in more questions no answers brainmode

  23. Falls sich jemand mit SH1106 mit der passenden Adafruit Library auskennt, kann gerne auf dem Makerspace auf der Ham vorbeischauen.

    Derjenige bekommt von mir selbstverständlich ein Kaltgetränk spendiert!

    Setup in the front window with a battery pack, and the T-Beam displaying that I have a message. (That I sent myself)

  27. New #antenna arrived for the #LoRaAPRS setup. While better then the results before, This still doesn't work well.
    I placed the receiver in the front window, but still had the transmit side in side the car - this is probably the problem. #LoRa is very low powered after all.
    My car may also be noisy in the 433mhz band.
    But I made some progress with the setup, now just to make better progress LOL.
    On a plus note, the device displays messages nicely, so once working better - that will be nice

  29. Going to have to do a lot more testing, so this seems to work sitting on the desk, but doesn't work when I'm out.
    But I had problems with LoRa 433 around here before. So today I tried a couple of different antenna, still not working.
    SO I think all I can do is get an external antenna for both of these devices and see what happens.

    Maybe I need an amplifier?

  31. #LoRaAPRS first weatherproof enclosure completed!! Very little modification required. Those M2 nylon standoffs work great.
