Digital Modes:
There are several well-established programs for working with APRS, as well as some newer entries to the field.
- UI-View. Local maps are available here. Also, M0CYP has a number of neat add-ons, and a current registration page.
- APRS-IS CE. This is the only version under heavy active development. Though it works on RF, it seems more designed to rely on the Internet for its functionality.
- xastir. Originally designed for Linux, there are versions of xastir available for all major desktop operating systems, including Mac. It's not as actively developed as APRS-IS, but maintains more of the original idea of APRS as an RF protocol.

Please connect, use and practice using Winlink

us how they are working and where you are connecting from. Please
talk it up, this is the only way we can increase our expertise with
