LoRa for AX.25 Packet and APRS
Description
This wiki page details the use of LoRa for AX.25 packet radio and APRS. It covers LoRa APRS, including popular boards like Lilygo, Heltec, and RAK, and firmware options such as Ricardo Guzman's (CA2RXU) LoRaAPRSiGate and LoRaAPRSTracker. The resource provides UK-specific LoRa APRS frequency and modulation settings (439.9125 MHz, 125kHz bandwidth, SF12, CR 4/5). A mini how-to guides users through setting up an iGate using VS Code and Platformio IDE, with specific instructions for a Lilygo LoRa32 V2.1_1.6 board. It also mentions the lora-aprs.live service for radio-specific information. The page notes that while LoRa APRS is gaining traction, its use for traditional packet radio is less common but is finding use in some areas.
