I like combining things I love. Electronics, ham radio, software development, and water sports (like surfing and prone paddling). In this case, I am using ham radio's APRS for tracking me while out doing long distance prone paddling. It is good for my wife to know where to send the Coast Guard to pull out my body if I drown 🤣. The BTECH - BaoFeng UV-PRO is a great radio since it has KISS mode to interface for APRS. I used APRSDroid on my phone for the software to drive it all.
