APRS is a digital communication system. It functions by sending small packets of data via radio waves. It’s designed for exchanging messages and information over short distances. It was initially developed in the 1990’s by Bob Bruninga, WB4APR (SK). Since then, it is used extensively by amateur radio operators.
