Understanding IGATE & System Used

 

What this IGATE is doing?

Setup: A VHF Transceiver is connected to PC using special interface containing PC-RIG Isolation and Modem which is then controlled by an APRS Program running on PC. Any APRS data "Heard" by transceiver is passed to PC. Program on PC accepts valid aprs data and forward it to APRServ for viewing globally.

Purpose: IGATE provides a way to Radio amateurs to reach global data system, especially who do not have internet connection or APRS Software Running on their PC 24X7. They can transmit from their small Walkie-Talkie & forward data containing their movement, weather data etc without any cost. (However, all expenses goes to IGATE owner!!)
