Another Android App Gives APRS Rigs Map Support

If you own a Kenwood TM-D710, TH-D72, Yaesu FTM-400D, FT-1D, Icom IC-2828DG, or ID-92 and you want to add the ability to view received packets on a Google Map or Offline Street Map (OSM), there is an Android app out there to help you. It’s called W2APRS and it’s not available on the Google Play Store. If you’re interested in learning more, follow this link:

While I haven’t used this app (I don’t have one of the listed radios), I thought I’d pass this along for those who do.

Take it from me. If you can’t see the APRS world around you, you’re missing out on some of the fun of amateur radio.
