APRS (For Messaging)

Of all the APRS features available to Amateur Radio operators, one feels suspiciously underutilized: Text-based Messaging.

The text messaging capabilities of APRS should be a core feature of the system and yet many of the apps and clients available feel clunky and look dated. Not to mention that the actual "messaging" seems like an afterthought in many of the classic APRS clients.

APRS(FM) is a web-based APRS client for radio-to-radio text messaging and data sharing. The user interface is designed around conversations rather than locations.

aprsfm.com will be the space I use to develop and distribute this client. There are also plans for tutorials and podcasts relating to APRS and Amateur Radio in general.
