[OE5REO]

Portable SOTA APRS I-Gate

Due to the mountainous topography in my area there are quite a lot spots where it is almost impossible to get a packet out into the APRS-Network. So I decided to build myself a portable APRS I-Gate that is listening for my (and other) APRS-Packets in my car during my hikes … so I got myself a Raspberry Pi 3. As I was not familiar with RPi and …

i use almost the same configuration like you, the biggest difference is that an raspberry pie is used for the i-gate.
