 ===== WhatsPac =====
-WhatsPac is a great new application for packet that has chat channels and private messages. Visit http://whatspac.m0ahn.co.uk:88/ for more information. Note that the project is in alpha so a few things are still being ironed out.

-It is possible to route to the main WhatsPac server node [[nodes:mb7npw|MB7NPW]] from GB7BSK, although the most stable route includes one AXIP link, the rest is all RF. Have a look a the **[[https://nodes.ukpacketradio.network/packet-network-map.html?rfonly=1|packet map]]** to get an idea of routes and feel free to drop 2E0HKD a message by packet mail or on the OARC discord if you need help with routing.

-===== QtSoundModem Settings =====
+===== LoRa APRS (Port 4) =====
-If using [[https://www.cantab.net/users/john.wiseman/Documents/QtSoundModem.html|QtSoundModem]] as a modem, you should select "QPSK AX.25 3600bd" and a centre frequency of 1650 hz.
+The packet node is connected to the [[aprs:mb7uba|MB7UBA]] LoRa APRS digi/iGate, allowing you to monitor local LoRa APRS traffic from the node. To do this run the command ''lis 4'' and traffic will be displayed live. To end, give the command ''lis''.
-{{:nodes:qtsm-3600.jpg|}}
+Note that while in listen mode (lis) you can in theory send an AX.25 CQ, but this is not really an APRS packet, and so you should avoid this as it will just use up the shared APRS frequency.
-And in the modem settings (Settings -> Setup Modems) enable FX25 and IL2P for RX+TX, and tick the CRC box.
+Advanced users may send APRS using the unproto command, but this requires a good knowledge of the APRS protocol as you will essentially construct the APRS packet yourself, so only try this if you know what you are doing!
