Saturday General Meeting Mark Kanzler #1371 Good evening to all MARC members. I hope that the beginning of summer finds everyone well and getting on their bikes and riding. I know that I have, and even though COVID seems to be getting better, we still have to be careful. But I f will be first to celebrate not having to wear a mask everywhere I go!! I have doubled my walking for the past year simply because I get to the door of a store and suddenly remember that I don't have my mask with me and have to go back to the car/bike and get it. Oh well, more walking. As some you may know, I took a vacation at the end of April and the beginning of May to go to Atlanta and participate in the charity bicycling event called VeloCity. Yes, I did trailer the Harley, not because it would not make it there, but because my significant other XYL wanted to go, and she does not ride at freeway speeds. She has a 31 ft toy hauler that we used, and we certainly unloaded the bike at several interesting places. I took notes of the travels, and will put together a timeline story of the trip. 25 days, and 6,000 miles! And we also rode the Tail of the Dragon in N. Carolina! I will write everything up and submit it for the newsletter. If YOU have something new, like getting a new bike, or have taken a trip, or maybe even a new radio, please write something up and we will put out a newsletter with YOUR article in it. So this Saturday we will have our monthly MARC meeting via zoom. Please join us and find out what is going on with MARC and the events possible for this year. It looks like some of our events that we have worked in the past are returning. Here is the info to join the Zoom meeting: https://zoom.us/s/82379940574 Password - 993530 Thanks to John KC6ZOZ for running with the monthly MARC net. I am sorry I could not be there, I have surgery on my right ear 2 days before, and my allergy to the anesthesia was more severe than normal and kept me down for several days. But I am back at it now. I will also take a trip down to Marie Calendars on Saturday and ask about returning there for our July meeting. I hope they will let us, and I will post the results of talking with them. See everyone this Saturday. Take care 73 zippy Mark Kanzler, Ham on a Hog KE6ZRP , 2016 Harley Davidson Electra Glide

Re: APRS with your Cell Phone Lion Ajoy - VU2JHM #1356 Hi Folks I have been using only my cell phone with aprs android app and no rig, no antenna running on mobile internet and been having tracking all my biking adventures and sometimes when network is not present then the telematics dot is skipped and without road the two dots are joined. Best of 73's De Lion Ajoy VU2JHM from Bangalore India 🇮🇳 toggle quoted messageShow quoted text On Tue, 1 Jun, 2021, 05:37 John Beckwith, <jbeckwit47@...> wrote: Greetings, Ran across something I’ve been playing with I thought I’d share. I’ve been using APRS in various forms for quite a few years. Including on my motorcycles in support of our fundraising events (ADA, MS etc.). Traditionally this has meant using either a radio with APRS built into it, or connecting a GPS with a TNC (e.g. TinyTrak etc) and a radio. Now there’s another option. Use your cell phone to connect via Bluetooth to a TNC that is connected to your radio. So, you at least remove the cost of the GPS, plus the phone allows you to set the TNC parameters. You still have the cost of the TNC - but you can use virtually any radio (that you can get/make a cable for). The TNC3 by Mobiinkd (http://www.mobilinkd.com) - is about $120, plus a cable that matches your radio ($13 for my Yaesu FT2). It’s a little tricky to setup, but finally figured it all out. And there’s a Groups.io for help if you need it. Basically - you connect the TNC3 to your radio with the appropriate cable. Then, load the Mobilnkd app and pair the TNC3 to your phone. Then you set some parameters (most defaults will probably work), turn on your radio and do a test Tx. From there, you use the APRS.fi app (available for both iOS and Android and is about the only app that recognizes an external TNC) and set it up to Transmit your position. Once it’s all setup - pretty seamless. Mostly……. The pairing with the phone seems a little less than reliable but works most of the time. And, of course, you have to have the phone on with the APRS.fi app running. The Android app allows you to use the APRS.fi map to see other stations using the TNC, but not the iOS app. Something to do with how the device gets its mapping. (Android/Google vs. Apple Maps) Anyway - holler if you have any questions and I’l do my best to help. Enjoy the rest of your Memorial Day. John N6JCB jbeckwit47@...
