Several PC and MAC applications have been developed to manage data extracted from Internet servers or from a local RF interface.

It is the goal of a group of Club members to install a local APRS 'Digipeater' and 'IGate' to enhance the coverage of APRS in the Burlington/Hamilton/Oakville region.

Individually, a number of Club members have various APRS assemblies installed at their station and in their private vehicles. Other Members use their APRS tracking systems while traveling, to provide position information for other BARC members and their own families via Internet Interfaces. Mobile applications include the Kenwood D700A/D710A; and, the Bionics TinyTrak3/4, as well as a variety of other interface options. Fixed stations often employ the Kantronics KPC-3, the KPC-3 Plus and an assorted variety of other surplus TNC interfaces. TNC interfaces can also be configured using the sound card of your PC (Sound Card Packet).

It is the intention of this website to highlight some of these technologies and tools to make it easier to understand the world of APRS
