How To: APRS iGate with a Baofeng & Android Device

In this video I show how to setup a Receive-Only APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System) iGate with a Baofeng and an Android device. An APRS iGate (Internet Gateway) is a program that listens for APRS packets on a radio and relays them to the APRS-IS network on the internet. APRS iGates are one of two fundamental parts of the APRS network that enable communications beyond simple peer-to-peer transmissions. The other part is a Digipeater, which is similar to a voice repeater. This is just the Igate.

When a girl defends your wallet from being scammed and ripped off of your money, then she is a keeper. And it doesn't hurt that she is good looking too

cable linked is a 3.5mm audio male. Is there one with USB C? There is a 3.5 to usb-c adapter i see, but I didnt know if the igate app could use this? or if it even has the driver to do this. A lot of phones don't have the 3.5mm headphone jack anymore. Thanks.

Do you have to be Connected to the internet or can you do by RF

[@kk-pz8gn]

anyone know if this app can connect to bluetooth radios, not using the cable? Thanks,

[@lbbalesdirtracer]

I have a question can you use the pass code from my aprsdroid app?

[@CarlosHLS]

Nice video...thanks..

[@TheTypicalHam]

Thank, YOU!

In my app the light never turns green...I am getting crazy...these apps and connections are always hit or miss. In my case they never worked.

[@TheTypicalHam]

If it's not turning green, double check your passcode. I've never heard of this issue, unless something was entered incorrectly.

[@TheTypicalHam]

Or if your talking about your not getting audio, you may need a TRRS TRS adapter if your phone port has a TRS headphone Port and the cable is TRRS .

[@ik8vwa]

I checked the password and it says ok but as for the rest you suggested I am sorry but you are getting too technical and I don't understand what TRS is.

[@laptopkulinux5465]

[@TheTypicalHam]

Here's an amazon link,

Why do you use this app and not APRSDroid?

[@TikTok_Sucks]

Does APRSDroid have iGate functionality?

[@haxboi5492]

Not that i know of​@@TikTok_Sucks

[@TheTypicalHam]

This app is an Igate. APRSDroid is an app that would USE an Igate.

[@TheTypicalHam]
