Geosat 6 APRS©
The GPS solution for Radio Amateurs

Communicate your position to amateur radio transceivers via APRS


The Geosat 6 APRS is a portable GPS navigator rich in advanced navigation functions, customized for Radio Amateurs. The large 4.8" touch screen and intelligent magnetic bracket make it a complete standalone device for both classic navigation and APRS applications.

The best GPS solution for Ham Radio
Geosat 6 APRS includes an AvMap - Kenwood serial cable and a bidirectional APRS RS-232 interface compatible with all Kenwood amateur radio transceivers APRS including the new TH-D72A/E. Integration with Kenwood APRS receivers is simple and fast. Geosat 6 APRS provides information on the GPS location of APRS beacons transmitted, and displays APRS information received on the large color display.

APRS Icons
Watch APRS activities on screen and distinguish between fixed and moving APRS contacts. Geosat 6 APRS supports dozens of standard APRS© icons (as indicated by the Kenwood string).

Intercept the target
The Geosat 6 APRS software features the 'intercept the target' option particularly useful for rescue operations: in fact the navigator can be set to navigate in the direction of a moving APRS contact, so it automatically recalculates when a new position is reported.

Tactical Mode
Tactical mode allows you to select a moving APRS contact to check in addition to the call sign and position, also its speed, direction and altitude.


Geosat 6 APRS compatible with Byonics Tiny Track 4
The Tiny Trak 4 is a simplified modem that enables APRS data transmission by decoding the position from a GPS receiver and sending $GPRMC or $GPGGA strings. Thanks to the Tiny Track 4, Geosat 6 APRS is also compatible with radio transceivers other than Kenwood. Tiny Track was developed by Byonics: http://www.byonics.com/tinytrak4/

APRS Messaging
Send and receive text messages easily using the full virtual keyboard on the Geosat 6 APRS touch screen.



The APRS System was developed by Bob Bruninga, WB4APR.
