But since you are only doing APRS in Android, you are not doing analog regular APRS on 144.39mhz either.<br></blockquote><br>
Just a little plug: the APRSdroid application for Android has an analog APRS modem these days, you can wire it up to your HT from the speaker/mic jack and have it transmit *and* receive on 144.39.<br><br>
Most don't use it, but it can be done.<br><br>
