Description of PocketPacket

PocketPacket is a full-featured APRS client with a built-in TNC. The "Automatic Position Reporting System" is a packet communication protocol used by amateur radio operators (hams) around the world, to report position, status, station capabilities, weather or other information in real time. Packets can also be used for broadcasting announcements or one-to-one messaging. PocketPacket incorporates a software-based TNC, allowing you to directly capture and visualize, or encode and transmit 1200 baud packets (AFSK modulation) using a VHF radio transceiver. With PocketPacket you can also get and send packets over the Internet, by selecting one of the available Tier 2 servers of the global APRS-IS network. Incoming data is presented on a map, as most packets define some object, with a specific symbol and location. By selecting a symbol, you can view the latest information sent for the corresponding object, as well as the raw packets that produced it. All available objects are also shown in a list, which allows you to search for the ones you are looking for. Messages and bulletins are shown in a separate set of screens, structured like an e-mail client. With PocketPacket you can follow the status of the APRS network, submit your station's info, monitor moving objects, get real time weather reports directly from local stations and more. PocketPacket is ideal for field work or the ham shack. 73 de SV9OAN

Reviews of PocketPacket

  • PocketPacket

    1200 baud VHF packet client. Works with a radio with the. Phone’s speaker and mic, and/or the internet (aprs-is). No 300bd, though.. Can 300bd be built in?
  • Transmits constantly despite frequency setting

    Seemed like a full-featured APRS client but it’s hard to get into those features when I’m constantly having to disconnect from my radio because it transmits constantly, regardless of the radio’s VOX sensitivity. Even when the audio modem is disabled it transmits. It also monopolizes the microphone, even when backgrounded. I would normally contact the developer about these issues, but they don’t provide any means to do so.
  • Great APRS app!

    Still one of my favorite APRS apps!

    Would be nice if it had the ability to have the app keep running and beacons while in the background and while the iPhone is asleep.

    Please add 300 baud for HF APRS.

    It would also be cool if this app could act as a digipeater & iGate when connected to a ham radio.
