Using JS8Call and APRS to send Email and SMS over HF Radio.
Today I wanted to talk about using JS8Call to send SMS and email with APRS.
Using JS8 Call, we can send SMS and email over HF Radio. Of course, this requires a HF rig with APRS reporting enabled to relay the messages.
I've made a simple python application which I call APRS Call that handles creating the messages for you.
Just Copy/Paste into JS8Call and Transmit.
You can download python from here:
python.org/downloads
Link to APRS Call on my GitHub:
github.com/modernham/APRS-Call
Format for SMS:
@APRSIS CMD :SMSGTE :@Phone# Message
Format for Email:
@APRSIS CMD :EMAIL-2 :EmialAddy Message
Format for APRS MEssages:
@APRSIS CMD :CALLSIGN :Message
Format for Grid:
@APRSIS GRID
