- vvanders 8y agoIf you care about speed aprs isn't your boat. 1200bps in almost all cases, zero FEC, bandwidth rapidly disappears depending on how many digipeaters overlap. It's good for brief beacon based things but most of the RF tech around it is still stuck in the 80s.
- F00Fbug 8y agoAbsolutely agree... but an aprs2 that incorporates some modern tech and modern thought could be interesting. What if every TNC was also a digipeater and they all coordinated to route their traffic via the shortest/best route to shore?
- state_less 8y agoBTW: this conversation has convinced me to buy a LimeSDR Mini. It can handle Marine VHF, (probably AIS with a GPS source) and even LTE. I figure having a couple of these might be great on a boat since you can reuse them for a variety of purposes and having backups are key. They even fly LimeSDRs on micro satellites.
