Description by Peter Loveall AE5PL (from Google Play)

APRS IGate based on javAPRSSrvr. When connected to a Bluetooth Legacy or LE KISS TNC, it is a fully functional APRS IGate between Amateur Radio RF and APRS-IS. When connected to a Bluetooth serial port on a D-STAR radio, it is a fully functional DPRS IGate between Amateur Radio D-STAR and APRS-IS.

javAPRSSrvrIGate is also a local (internal) APRS-IS server so it can be used in conjunction with a UI APRS client to provide IGate capabilities to a mapping/messaging APRS client.

This application requires the user to have a valid amateur radio license.

Per APRS-IS specifications, this app accesses your location to create valid posits which are sent to the upstream server (APRS and DPRS) and to the attached TNC (APRS only) every 20 minutes. This is an essential function of IGates to prevent ghost IGates and cannot be disabled.

More setup information can be found on the support website.

Comments on javAPRSSrvr IGate for Android

★★★★★ Steffen Kupka · Dec 8, 2021

Great easy way to use your phone as an iGate. Works well with Mobilized TNC3.

★★★★★ Alex Huelsebusch · May 27, 2019

Absolutely perfect app for using my APRS rig as a mobile iGate. iGates aren't plentiful in my area, so being able to provide the service wherever I go is pretty cool. I only wish I knew what port the full status page was available at on localhost. 14501 doesn't share as much info as the webpage loaded for Status in the app's menu, and loading that page in Chrome instead of in-app would make it more usable. -73!

I originally had a problem whereby this app could not see both of my Mobilized TNC4 devices. The developer was able to fix the problem within a couple of hours and get the new app uploaded. Back up to 5-stars! This is a simple, easy to configure and use app that gets your signal, and that of others nearby, onto APRS-IS. Thumbs up!

★★★★★ Michael Phelps · Aug 18, 2022

Very awesome app for such a simple design. Add in a digi and bidirectional gateway feature, and it's perfect.
