APRS, the Automatic Packet Reporting System, allows ham radio operators to transmit real-time position data, weather information, and short messages using packet radio. Stations often use GPS receivers connected to a TNC and a VHF transceiver to send their location, which can then be digipeated by other stations and gateways to the internet, making it visible on online maps.

This category features manufacturers specializing in APRS equipment. Operators can find dedicated APRS trackers like the TinyTrak from Byonics or the OpenTracker+ from Argent Data Systems, which are designed for mobile use. There are also TNCs, such as the Mobilinkd Bluetooth TNC, that interface with existing radios and smartphones. For those interested in homebrew projects, some manufacturers offer modules like the APRS Radio Shield for Arduino, providing components for custom station builds.
