<H1>2 new Amateur Radio apps - for hams on the move</H1>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>Amateur radio enthusiasts who also own an iPhone may find
these two new apps from <STRONG>Mark Turner, G7LEU</STRONG> very
useful.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma><STRONG>Ham Dashboard<BR></STRONG>"Ham Dashboard is
designed to be useful to Radio Amateurs whilst on the move or away from home. It
shows a searchable list of nearby repeaters in the UK and Ireland, along with
details of input and output frequencies, a map, and a handy bearing arrow for
each repeater. It also includes a basic APRS tracker that allows your position
to be sent to the APRS-IS network."<BR></FONT><A

<P><FONT face=Tahoma><STRONG>Ham Tracker<BR></STRONG>"Ham Tracker allows Radio
Amateurs on the move to send location updates to APRS-IS (the Internet side of
APRS) from their mobile device. Once sent, your position can be tracked using
services such as </FONT><A href="http://aprs.fi/" target=_blank><FONT
face=Tahoma>aprs.fi</FONT></A><FONT face=Tahoma>. Don't worry though, you're in
control of your privacy and can turn off the sending of position reports at any
time. <BR><BR>"Ham Tracker makes it easy to send an email containing an
</FONT><A href="http://aprs.fi/" target=_blank><FONT
face=Tahoma>aprs.fi</FONT></A><FONT face=Tahoma> tracking link for your callsign
or a map link showing your current location. Use these to tell colleagues,
friends and family where you are, letting them track your progress using a web
browser without them needing to phone to ask.<BR><BR>"Ham Tracker doesn't even
need to be running in the foreground on your device. You can simply install it,
configure it, then forget it. The application will run quietly in the
background, notice when your location changes significantly (in practice that's
when your phone switches to a different cell on the mobile network), wake up,
start sending position reports at regular intervals, notice when you've not
moved much for a while, then go back to sleep. This approach only uses the
device's GPS receiver when you're actually moving, so keeping battery use to a
minimum." <BR></FONT><A
