About

What is APRSPH? APRSPH is a network of licensed amateur radio operators who share messages and position packets through radio and internet. APRSPH is also a bot that can be used to run queries, execute commands, and exchange messages with the SMS network. It can be used for daily routine messages, and it can also be used for off-grid text-based communications during emergencies. The bot itself resides on a digipeater at PK00 grid so it can be used to store and relay messages that can hop across the local digipeater network within the DU1, DU3, and soon the DU2 amateur radio districts in the Philippines. It is connected to the internet via APRS-IS to accommodate message exchange with other stations worldwide using RF with internet backhaul. The bot itself can also be installed on other digipeaters for local RF use cases. What is APRS? Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS) is an amateur radio-based system for real time digital communications of information of immediate value in the local area. Data can include object Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates, weather station telemetry, text messages, announcements, queries, and other telemetry. APRS data can be displayed on a map, which can show stations, objects, tracks of moving objects, weather stations, search and rescue data, and direction finding data. APRS data is typically transmitted on a single shared frequency (depending on country) to be repeated locally by area relay stations (digipeaters) for widespread local consumption. In addition, all such data are typically ingested into the APRS Internet System (APRS-IS) via an Internet-connected receiver (IGate) and distributed globally for ubiquitous and immediate access. Data shared via radio or the internet are collected by all users and can be combined with external map data to build a shared live view. Development on APRS started in the late 1980s by Bob Bruninga, call sign WB4APR, a senior research engineer at the United States Naval Academy. He maintained the main APRS Web site until his death in 2022. The initialism "APRS" was derived from his call sign. (from Wikipedia) Learn more about APRS here.

How to join and use APRSPH

Send an APRS message to APRSPH to join the net in the following format: Other commands to interact with the bot and to retrieve information: From DMR APRS Note: Sending different CQ or NET messages within a rapid succession might result in duplicate logs and/or relays due to the nature of APRS messages (resent several times and also digipeated by several devices). Also, sending the exact same CQ or NET message within the 24-hour net period might result in subsequent messages not being logged if they are exactly the same (duplicate check mechanism stores your latest message and checks new messages against the last sent one). Except where indicated, commands are not case sensitive. Go back to top of the page

SMS gateway commands (for Philippine numbers only)

SAT command for sending SMS to Thuraya satellite phones

This list is automatically updated on the server every time a station checks in (you may need to refresh, but the page itself refreshes every 10 minutes in your browser). The daily net list is refreshed every midnight at UTC. You will need to check in again to rejoin the net and continue receiving net messages. Go back to top of the page

Support the net

If you would like to support APRSPH Net, you may contribute by buying me a coffee or sharing a contribution through PayPal. You may also click on my Amazon Associates link when making a purchase on Amazon. Doing so will provide me with a small commission on your purchase, which does not add on to the price. These will go to maintenance costs like this web host and server, as well as possible upgrades of our digipeater and igate gear (radio, controller, Raspberry Pi, etc.). Of course, it will also go toward coffee, which helps in app development! We are also hoping to grow the digipeater network here in the Philippines to improve RF coverage. Or, you may simply spread the word about the APRSPH Net. Any support will be much appreciated.
