APRSD is a server daemon software that connects amateur radios to the internet, allowing clients to access APRS packet data. It facilitates improved communication efficiency and data accessibility in ham radio networks.
The software requires gcc and libstdc++ 3.2.x or greater to run, ensuring that any users can start using APRSD without any issues. The installation process for the software is quite simple; all that is required is to unpack the tarball (tar xvfz aprsd-.tar.gz), move to the appropriate directory (cd aprsd-), configure the application for your usage needs (./configure), and finally, build the software (make).
Once completed, the software can be installed as root on your system (to /usr/local/bin by default) or run as a daemon from the build directory (admin). With your installation complete, all you need to do is modify the aprsd.conf file to meet your preferences and setup.
What's new with this release? This version includes some exciting new features such as fixed SEGV on some implementations of NPTL on thread exit, a new function utils.cpp:CompPattern, as well as wildcard support for gate2rf (Hans-Juergen Barthen, DL5DI) see aprsd.conf. To top it all off, the software update comes with a detailed README to help users quickly and easily get started.
Overall, APRSD is an excellent choice for anyone seeking easy access to real-time data through amateur radio APRS packet data. With its simple installation process and features that cater to most amateur radio enthusiasts' needs, these are some of the reasons why you should consider giving APRSD a try.
