APRS with the Raspberry Pi and the TNC-X board

1 Motivation

After my first series of experiments with APRS and Ardino, but also with APRS and OpenWRT I am now trying out something else:

Using a Raspberry Pi as a APRS gateway. In this case I intend to do it bidirectional.

2 The TNC-X board

• http://tnc-x.com/

3 The Radio used

• I am using a IC2E clone.
