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:

t(ime) = respond with the current time

f(ortune) = respond with a short fortune (requires fuzzyclock python module)

-email_addr email text = send an email

-2 = display the last 2 emails received

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 "yourmaildomain", "password". Search for "shortcuts" to setup email aliases as well.

Example usage:
