Hide and seek;

Finally found how APRS gets on to Internet, sort of, it uses APRS-IS (http://www.aprs-is.net/ or http://www.aprs2.net/).


This connects data from a packet radio set up to the big world of the web. The above sites you some very interesting technical info, Maps, servers and web links, but I still can’t work out which Rabbit hole on 144.800 Mhz my signal would go in to end up on a map at http://aprs.fi/ ??

What would be nice if someone did a simple PC sound card APRS beacon software so you could plug it into your PC and watch to see if you pop up on http://aprs.fi/ or http://www.openaprs.net/?

Not a full blown TNC just a simple UI+APRS sender even if you have to type in position.
