| APRS over LoRA is exactly what it sounds like: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_Packet_Reporting_System|Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS)]] packets sent using using [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LoRa|LoRa]] radio modulation, instead of the more common FM modulation used in standard APRS. | APRS over LoRA is exactly what it sounds like: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_Packet_Reporting_System|Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS)]] packets sent using using [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LoRa|LoRa]] radio modulation, instead of the more common FM modulation used in standard APRS. |

| While packets are still logged via APRS-IS and viewable on common APRS sites like [[https://aprs.fi/|aprs.fi]], much more detailed information about LoRa APRS specifically can be found at [[https://lora-aprs.live/]] for devices running the very common CA2RXU firmware ([[https://github.com/richonguzman/LoRa_APRS_iGate|iGate]] or [[https://github.com/richonguzman/LoRa_APRS_Tracker|tracker]]). This has the added benefit of including signal quality information which is not captured through APRS-IS, and also preserving all activity rather then the de-duplicating of packets that occurs on APRS-IS, so you can see in detail exactly where you're packets went. | While packets are still logged via APRS-IS and viewable on common APRS sites like [[https://aprs.fi/|aprs.fi]], or LoRa only equivalents like [[https://lora.ham-radio-op.net/]], much more detailed information about LoRa APRS specifically can be found at [[https://lora-aprs.live/]] for devices running the very common CA2RXU firmware ([[https://github.com/richonguzman/LoRa_APRS_iGate|iGate]] or [[https://github.com/richonguzman/LoRa_APRS_Tracker|tracker]]). |

| The digi runs on a Lilygo T-Beam v1.2 with an SX1262, and uses the firmware by CA2RXU at [[https://github.com/richonguzman/LoRa_APRS_iGate]]. Tracker firmware, also by CA2RXU, for similar boards can be found at [[https://github.com/richonguzman/LoRa_APRS_Tracker]]. | The digi runs on a Lilygo T-Beam v1.2 with an SX1262, and uses the firmware by CA2RXU at [[https://github.com/richonguzman/LoRa_APRS_iGate]].
