The APRS Local Voice Repeater Initiative

摘要

For the traveler in a new area, a local-repeater-frequency packet flashed on the left side of the display shown in figure 1 below shows the best recommended local repeater for finding a QSO or for local information. This has always been a part of APRS, but seems not to be reliably implemented in many areas. In Jan-07 we launched the Local Info Initiative to get all areas to support not only this application, but other APRS objects to show local IRLP, EchoLink, and Winlink frequencies as well for the benefit of mobiles.
