What is APRS TX? APRS TX is an app designed for licensed Ham Radio operators to beacon their position details to the APRS-IS network using the internet. The app sends information such as latitude, longitude, speed, altitude, bearing, beacon message, and APRS symbol in each position packet. The app also includes messaging between APRS stations and allows users to change their callsign, passcode, APRS-IS server URL, beacon message, beacon time interval, and APRS symbol.
