  • Pollutes aprs Network

    When using this app with a transceiver, the app pollutes aprs network with excessive packet transmissions. Transmits frequent packets even with the beacon interval in off position. Every time you bring it up from the background it transmits a packet. This app transmits packets for no reason. The frequent packet transmissions seemed to start when I transmitted a aprs text and continued after the message was confirmed and didn't stop even after I deleted the QSO. A few hams in your area using this app with a transceiver will ensure nobody gets packets out due to packet collisions.

    The app works ok until you purchase the TX option. It would've been nice to have some filters to get rid of weather stations and old stations still being displayed on the map. Would've been nice to see what time a packet was received as well.

    *** If using this app with your transceiver, you must use at least 2 turns through a ferrite bead at the iPhone side of the cable or the stray RF will lock up your iPhone. ***
