No problems Carlos. Email me if you have questions as you get into
it further. I don't call myself an APRS expert, but I've at least
managed to make it work. Others on this list can probably solve any
hard problems :-)<br>

David,<br>
<br>
Thanks a lot for the information. I really like the concept,
because it is "tried and tested" and just a couple of "clicks"
away. <br>
I have most bits at home and will order the UDRC II at the first
opportunity.<br>

commercially available HAT for the RPi that provides a complete
interface for 2 radios - the UDRC II from NW Digital Radio - <a href="http://nwdigitalradio.com/category/udrc/" moz-do-not-send="true">http://nwdigitalradio.com/category/udrc/</a>
Originally it was designed to interface to a Yaseau DR-2
repeater, but it works fine driving other radios. I have it
running in my car with both VHF and HF radios and it works well.
Have a look at my blog entry for details: <a href="http://vk3il.net/projects/raspberry-pi-based-aprs-trackerdigipeaterigate/" moz-do-not-send="true">http://vk3il.net/projects/raspberry-pi-based-aprs-trackerdigipeaterigate/</a><br>
