Links to useful APRS web sites 

For an introduction to APRS go to the mirror web site of Roger Barker G4IDE  (SK).  Author of UI-View which is the best supported software I have ever come across and the best way to enjoy APRS
http://www.ui-view.org

Registration site for the 32bit version of UI-View (NB the 16bit version does not require registration)   Before Roger died; it was stated that both he (Roger) and Dee would like any new user of UI-View32 to contribute, on an entirely voluntary basis, to their national Cancer Research organization

Yahoo eGroup which provides support for UI-View
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ui-view/

An excellent site to find out more about APRS, with lots of add on software to download
www.apritch.myby.co.uk/uiview.htm

The UK's APRS stations live - watch out for G4IQI  about 47km (30 miles) WSW of central London, or G4IQI-9 (my car) anywhere in the UK!   (Use page up or down to zoom and alt-click to centre the map)

You can also find where my car was last heard by a station gating from radio to internet via the excellent "find-U" web site.  If you click on the button marked "hybrid" the satellite map has main roads superimposed.

To have a look at the local activity in the Thames Valley, have a look at the UI-View webserver that is operating at G4KWT's station in Reading

How to use UI-View with just a soundcard and 2m rig

The local repeater group web site.  If you look at the MB7UJ pages you might be able to find a picture of me helping to install the local APRS repeater.

If your VHF or UHF rig gets hit by strong local signals you might want to try a notch filter.  I had one tuned to knock out VHF pager interference and a local UHF transmission.  Just email PAR with the exact frequencies and they will let you know if he can help.  NB I am just a happy customer - the best sort of recommendation.
