Building an OpenTracker
(10 July 2006)
Are you considering an OpenTracker? It's an APRS encoder
that lets you interface a GPS receiver with your ham radio
transceiver so you can track your vehicle, yourself, your
kids... well, track anything you want. This podcast
documents Terry Bajuk, KE5BL, building a tracker in just 8
minutes. 8 minutes? Really? Well, if you cutout all the
unimportant parts it only takes 8 minutes! View the pdf
version of the flyer for the OpenTracker at
