Packet can be fun!

This all does an excellent job of using the underlying tools and formats of APRS and packet radio to deliver a fun, organized, easy to follow messenger.

Full featured, easy to use, and large compatibility

I have deleted my previous review as the amount of device compatibility within the app exceeded my expectations and apologize for my earlier comments. The app immediately detected my DR Lite and switched from a serial TNC to an audio modem. Very impressed with the simplicity and ease of configuration after initial setup.
