APRS - Automatic Packet Reporting System

What is APRS?

APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System) is a real-time tactical digital communication system used by amateur radio operators. It provides live information such as:

• GPS position tracking
• Weather station data
• Messaging and bulletins
• Telemetry
• Emergency signaling

APRS works over radio, independent of the internet — but gateways like APRS-IS allow radio packets to appear online, including on APRS.fi.
