Put both of those in one box and you have a new commercial product. I can see non hams wanting something like that also if they can filter the data also. Filters I can think of right off would be<br><br>Callsign (Wildcards included)<br>Circle (Geofence)<br>keyword "Traffic" "hamfest talk-in" etc<br><br>I'm sure there are others.<br><br>The SAME RX could be a break-in type.

<br>> It's a microcontroller board that comes with a nice development
<br>> environment, and has a bunch of add-on boards available. It's not
<br>> something I find particularly useful myself (I program in C and have
<br>> more advanced tools) but I thought it'd be a good way to let people put
<br>> together their own gadgets without so much programming.
<br>>
<br>> I'm planning to do an APRS pager as a demo - it'll just receive a
<br>> message, print it on the screen, and maybe activate a buzzer.
<br>>
<br>> I've also written a demodulator to handle SAME data (for Emergency Alert
<br>> System broadcasts and weather warnings), but it's not 100% reliable yet.
<br>> When it's working right, you could use it to monitor a NWS channel and
<br>> display messages or take some other action when a message comes in.
