Nice Dave- like your website and toys! I experimented with Myaprs app using
audio to my iphone- eventually got some decent packets read.... really hit and
miss. Brock down and got the Kenwood Triband- has tnc built in- works like a
charm unless an idiot bumps the keys in the field!!! 😭.... I have a lot to
learn and look forward to these postings!

We should talk about frequencies and what to use.
The frequencies everyone has stated so far could have issues if you travel.
The BRB is very low power and not likely to cause interference, but 434Mhz is
an input frequency for Amateur Television repeaters in the area. Most of the
freqs mentioned are FM repeater outputs.
At Lucerne lakebed none of these is much of an issue, but in other areas you
may be swamped out by much higher power signals.
Kudos to Rick using the band plan!
Warner, check your app store for APRS apps. Apple has some issues, but should
be able to work on audio. The specific app I use is only Android, and has
provision to encode/decode APRS using audio.
For those interested, I have a write up from a few years ago on my Ham
Projects web page at:
http://www.qsl.net/w6dps
Basically I am playing with getting the audio from the receiver to the phone,
and the app does everything else. Note that none of this is my original
work...
I am also working on some fairly small 70cm ADRF trackers with Arduino Nano
producing morse code messages.
I will be around all three days at ROCstock, and will be happy to play "show
and tell".

APRS is a specific data format. In the US, people have standardized on
using 144.390 Mhz for the distributed network of receivers and digipeaters.
The product I recommend for rocketry actually runs on the 70cm band. As
long as you have an appropriate receiver tuned to the right frequency, you
can use any frequency you'd like!

Hmm, interesting. I see Beeline and APRS mixed together in this thread.
And I'm a little confused.
The Beeline (Big Red Bee) folks are all mentioning different RF frequencies
and APRS is typically on one frequency, 144.390 MHz IIRC. Is Beeline APRS
or a different format? If it is APRS shouldn't it be on the same frequency?
Just wondering and wanting to learn.

Okay, should be interesting.
I will be putting together a simple interface to use with APRSDroid on my
phone.
See you then!

I will testing my mobile on UHF, and am putting together a simple portable
rig That I would like to try out. I am particularly interested in testing
with a Beeline.
I will be in touch.
