Packet Radio

APRS

On this page is everything you should need for information to perform the software configuration of an APRS system with the components listed above.

I had a wonderful week tying to pull together all the information I needed to use UI-View with the MFJ-1275 and AGWPE on a Windows XP PC. Most important to understand is that the MFJ-1275 IS NOT a Packet TNC. It is an interface betwixt your sound card and your radio. It contains transformers, filters and DSP chips to modify data to the varied formats and protocols that it supports. Therefore, to use the MFJ-1275 as a Packet TNC, we need to supply software to configure it to be a Packet TNC. This is called a "packet engine"
The most popular packet engine is that from SV2AGW. He has created AGWPE
Ok, "let's light this candle"!
