Aprs.fi Telemetry

This section of the Aprs.fi user guide describes telemetry visualization functions of aprs.fi.

Telemetry

APRS stations can transmit measured analogue and digital telemetry such as voltages, temperatures, and switch / alarm statuses. aprs.fi collects the data and presents it on the info and telemetry pages. The telemetry page allows looking up historic data over the past year.

• VK3RAW, like many other Australian digipeaters, reports temperature, battery voltage and transmitter PTT keydowns using APRS telemetry.
• OH2RCH, an igate running the aprx software, reports channel busy status and received packets.

Telemetry is currently only collected for stations which have transmitted a position packet. This is a bug and will be fixed in the future.
