<font size="+1">Hi Christopher<br>
I have always used the hardware method of <br>
connect two APRS clients together.<br>
The hardware method needs the following hardware.<br>
Two Computers.<br>
Two TNC<br>
<br>
You simply connect the radio port of the two Tnc together.<br>
Obviously connecting the correct pin to the correct pin on the
other radio port.<br>
<br>
Then just connect the computers to the serial ports of the two
TNC.<br>

<div dir="ltr">I recently needed to debug an APRS client that I'm
working on and needed a way to do it without using RF. Simply
attaching the client to a KISS TNC and a radio wasn't cutting it
for me: I needed to carefully control the packets that were
being sent to the client and I needed to send packets at a
faster rate than would be desirable on the local RF network.
You can do this with a null-modem cable between two RS-232 ports
but if you don't have two ports and a cable handy, there's an
easier way.

<div>If you're a developer of an APRS client or utility, you
might find this useful. I did a write-up on the process:</div>
