By the way, if you send a message from any client (YAAC, APRSIS32 or a D72 radio) to ISS with anything for text, you will receive the next pass predictions.

Hi Ken,

APRS client for windows is easily APRSIS32 by Lynn KJ4ERJ (http://aprsisce.wikidot.com/ ) Very much current and actively maintained. It also includes satellite pass predictions via APRS (keeping this satellite-relevant).

APRS client for Raspberry Pi: My preference here is YAAC by Andrew KA2DDO (https://www.ka2ddo.org/ka2ddo/YAAC.html). If you don't need a user interface (i.e. just for beacons, digipeating, and iGating), Direwolf is a very good choice all by itself. I run them together, with Direwolf just handling the KISS TNC functions, and YAAC doing the Graphical interface.

Android: APRSdroid gets my vote, though there are others.

Hello everyone,

I'm seeking suggestions for good APRS client software packages for Windows? There are a number of ancient packages out there but it would be nice to find one that's thoroughly modern and still being maintained.

I'm also looking for an APRS client for the Raspberry Pi and maybe Android down the road.

What's your favourite?

Thanks & 73, Ken VA7KBM
