APRX client in amateur radio APRS based on D-Link Dir-620
Greetings to all! Special thanks to those who asked me to highlight this issue .
I plan to make several articles on APRS , in which we consider:
1) Installing stationary clients (and maybe even try to make your local server) based on Windows, Linux;
2) Connect the radio station;
3) Install the mobile client.
In today's article (first attempt) consider the installation of a light client on the router Dir-620 ...
So what is APRS?
APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System) is a special variant of packet radio communication, the protocol of which was registered in 1992 by Bob Bruning (WB4APR). Now it is used by more than 7,000 radio amateurs in the world. Using this protocol, information on the location of the object or on any of its measured physical parameters can be transferred over long distances using technical devices. With the help of special software information can be visualized and processed.
Some information can be found on Wikipedia , in more detail you can read on the Russian-language forum .

Consider the installation and simple configuration of the APRX gateway on the D-Link Dir-620 stitched in Keenetic.
How to flash the router and how to assemble the necessary packages, I will not describe it - it has already been covered more than once on Habré (you can look in my previous article ).
To start the client, you need to edit the config for your data:
My config:
A more detailed config for all parameters is painted on the website of the author .
Run:
Watch stations conveniently on Google Maps APRS

In the future, there is a desire to fasten a usb sound card and a VHF radio station to the router and try to enter the network through the radio.
Thank you for attention!
