DXSPOTS is a Telnet connection program. It allows radio amateurs with a lot of DX traffic to know instantly the status of the bands and to know which DX are currently on the air. Following the Packet-Clusters where data was transmitted on VHF/UHF via dedicated relays and sometimes on HF at a very low speed (300Bds on HF), the Internet has taken over and is now transmitting DX information via the computers in most shacks.

NPR (New Packet Radio) is a custom amateur radio digital protocol, designed by F4HDK to transport bidirectional IP trafic over radio links on the 70cm band. This IP protocol is optimized for point-to-multipoint topology, with the help of managed-TDMA. Bitrate is up to 500kbps. Home Made modem has a built-in ethernet port to connect to PC. To boost power a DMR amplifier is required to reach 20W. This project is an extension of HSMM - Hamnet - AREDN networks

A data converter for the Tandy WM918 weather station. The Weather APRS data converter project aims to create an interface to interpret data from the popular Tandy WM918 weather station and format it for transmission over packet radio. The South East Radio Group in South Australia has established a network of these weather stations to provide amateurs with regularly updated weather data. However, the WM918's data output is not structured for APRS weather reporting. This project describes a solution using a PIC microcontroller to convert the WM918 data into APRS-compatible strings that can be sent as beacons or connected packets. The interface offers features like position/positionless data, connected/beacon modes, and metric/imperial units. The goal is to create an interconnected weather reporting system for amateur radio operators

A tiny board, which allows a smartphone or similiar device to connect to the Baofeng UV5R radio via a TRRS audio connector. It allows for connecting the radio to a software TNC app such as APRSDroid or PocketPacket. Solder on the components, solder on the cables, then provide some stress relief, (I use solid-core wire and heat shrink tubing), and you can use your UV5R with your smartphone for APRS on the cheap.
