Seems like it's not too hard to make. Maybe I need at get on APRS....

@ham_bitious @w0odl It sure isn't hard. If you have a radio that can hear the signal, a soundcard input on your computer and net access, you can do rx igate.

I just worry that if I set one up I'll decide I need a way to transmit APRS and buy a PicoAPRS or some other radio I don't really need.

@ham_bitious €349 sure is a whole lotta money for what that thing does, you could get a handheld dualband with APRS for less.

oh, there are definitely cheaper options out there, that one is just so cute.
