# aprsd

Listen on amateur radio aprs-is network for messages and respond to them.
You must have an amateur radio callsign to use this software.  Put  your
callsign in the "USER" variable and update your aprs-is password in "PASS".
You must also have an imap email account available for polling.

Current messages this will respond to:
```
APRS messages:
   l(ocation)             = descriptive location of calling station
                            8 Miles E Auburn CA 1673' 39.91150,-120.93450 0.1h ago
   w(eather)              = temp, (hi/low) forecast, later forecast
                            58F(58F/46F) Partly Cloudy. Tonight, Heavy Rain.
   t(ime)                 = respond with the current time
   f(ortune)              = respond with a short fortune
   -email_addr email text = send an email, say "mapme" to send a current position/map
   -2                     = display the last 2 emails received
   p(ing)                 = respond with Pong!/time
   anything else          = respond with usage

```
 Meanwhile this code will monitor an imap mailbox and forward email
 to your BASECALLSIGN over the air.

There are additional parameters in the code (sorry), so be sure to set your
email server, and associated logins, passwords.  search for "yourdomain",
"password".  Search for "shortcuts" to setup email aliases as well.


Example usage:
```
./aprsd.py
```
