[OZAPRS] Raspbery Pi (RPi) Gateway

[Justin Albury]

Hi guys

I cant take any credit for this .....it was passed on to me from Nigel VK2FNJH who found it among other pi stuff on the net.

But I do have a pi.......might give it a try.

Hi Ray,

I'm a lurker on the OZAPRS list as I'm interested, but have never got around to actually implementing APRS.

I don't really have anything to contribute except to congratulate you on your Raspberry Pi post. Its one of the most interesting and informative mailing list posts I've ever read. I'll be watching for progress reports with interest!
