We are working towards blocking packets modified by LoRa APRS igates on the SondeHub-Amateur APRS-IS importer. iGates should not be adding metadata onto comment fields, this causes all sorts of issues with de-duping. github.com/projecthorus/s… aprs.fi #APRS #LoRa

v2.6.0 is out! New button to switch symbol size, brand new symbol for RVs, and more mojed high-resolution graphics to make things look really sharp on the latest devices. #hamradio #aprs

v2.6.1 of the iOS app is out! • It’s now possible to change the account callsign/nickname from within the app (More -> My account). • A few improvements in the station profile rename feature, to improve the chances of having an AX.25 compliant callsign-SSID by default.

aprs.fi was down between 2024-11-21 02:42:05 and 08:00 UTC today, due to an UPS failure at the hosting location. I hear the UPS was not really happy with itself at all, some sort of existential crisis.

I see the state of LoRa-APRS iGates and digis is still as much of a shitshow as ever. We have igates adding on metadata to the end of comment fields, now in new formats that aprs.fi isn't detecting, and we also have digipeaters stripping out path information...

Version 2.6.2 is now available! Bug fixes and improvements, full change log visible in the App Store like always.

New user guide! ios-guide.aprs.fi

Another update! iOS app v2.7.1 embeds the new User Guide (also at ios-guide.aprs.fi) and enables a new complete translation to Slovak! Thanks go to the contributor of the translation, it’s quite a project!

Friday night fun: Compiled the DSP modem with settings for 300 baud HF packet, plugged it in the HF rig, and it actually receives some packets, and my transmissions are being heard in Germany and Austria! Splendid! Note VOX off.
