APRS beacon testers needed
Please post here if you can help with testing APRS beacon functionality
You need to have a UV380 / RT3S or MD9600/RT90 with GPS

Re: APRS beacon testers needed
Hi, I am not sure what type do you need, periodic APRS sending? I am stuck at home for a few days with COVID but could put the RT3s radio on window sill and run direwolf (besides having local APRS gateway in reach) and just check it later. But if it requires some minimum distance change to function, it would have to wait a few days.
I have modded GPS (replacement antenna) in original old RT3s.

We need testing where people are driving their car, or riding a bike or walking etc
Re: APRS beacon testers needed
OK, thanks for explanation, those things I could do next week soonest, or if everything goes well, during the weekend (car drive).
Re: APRS beacon testers needed
I'm ready to help
Re: APRS beacon testers needed
Hi... I'm portable right now, but will be mobile after several hours. RT3S and mmdvm simplex hotspot is in the car as well
Re: APRS beacon testers needed
I have both radios and can test tomorrow. Let us know what you need.
Re: APRS beacon testers needed
My newest RT3S seems to have a better GPS so I can test, I'm walking and using public transport in the Stockholm area.

I'll post links special version of the CPS and the firmware to this thread later today which includes APRS beacon functionality developed by Daniel F1RMB.
