  • Decodes ax.25 U frame
  • Decodes MIC-E format
  • Decodes APRS compressed data formats

Screenshot

Supported and tested Hardware

  • Supports any TNC which supports real or virtual serial port and KISS protocol.
  • Tested with Mobilinkd TNC2 through Bluetooth (with virtual serial port).

How does it work

Program decodes KISS frame and then ax.25 frame and lastly MIC-E data if available. Result is printed on window with colorful notation.

HELP - What to do if it does not work somehow?

Program should work on Python version 2.7.xx and onward. Run it with command "sudo python APRSterminal.py" without quotes. With Python3.6 run with command "python3.6 APRSterminalP3.py". Contact me. I'm willing to help on any questions and can even add some features to program if necessary.
