APRS - Automatic Packet Reporting System, an Amateur Radio system developed by Bob Bruninga in about 1984.

I think you are confusing it with AIS (boats) and ACARS (planes).

It wasn't used widely until the mid 90's, about 94 or 95
I think it was Kenwood in the very late 90's or early 2000 that that put the mode into their radios.

In the early 90's we were using packet radio at that time but APRS didn't take off until a quite a few years later

Byonics in the states.

With the good exchange rate - works out a good price

Should be here within 2wks

Acars is a different kettle of fish. If anyone has questions relating to acars, pm me
