Devin<p>Are there any websites that provide text search of decoded <a href="https://qth.social/tags/APRS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>APRS</span></a> packets? On aprs.fi it seems like you can only search by "originating station".</p>
Bud Talbot<p>I received 8 stations on tonight's <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/ISS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ISS</span></a> pass and also got digipeated from *inside the house* on the stock antenna of my TH-D75A. This is a lot of fun. It was raining so I decided not to go outside 😁</p><p><a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/hamradio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hamradio</span></a> <br><a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/APRS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>APRS</span></a></p>

Cameron Bielstein<p>Finally got some time for coding on personal projects this evening. Picked up my on-again, off-again APRS C# library to fix a few reported bugs. Got carried away and added support for serial TNCs via the demo command line tool. Good fun and very satisfying!</p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/HamRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HamRadio</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/APRS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>APRS</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/dotnet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dotnet</span></a></p>

Bud Talbot<p>I recently acquired a used Kenwood TH-D75A. <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/APRS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>APRS</span></a> reception and decode on this radio is way, way better than on my Yaesu FT-5DR. I expected this based on my past comparisons between Yaesu and Kenwood APRS capable radios. The difference is night and day. </p><p>I really do believe that the Kenwood APRS HTs have always been the best in terms of performance and features. And they have real, externally accessible TNCs, which is great for packet and <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/Winlink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Winlink</span></a>! </p><p>The Kenwood radios really are nice, but $$$</p><p><a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/hamradio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hamradio</span></a></p>

Phil<p>My mobile APRS Digipeter doesn’t look suspicious at all… once up and running it pulls 0.11 Amps. With that 4.5Amp battery it should last 36 hours at 90% efficiency give or take.
