Application Setup

Many APRS client applications are available and this manual can’t cover every application and

every type of setup, but the instructions here can be used as a starting point.

APRSdroid

APRSdroid can connect to the Tracker4 using KISS over

TCP. First, make sure KISS over TCP is enabled on the

tracker. The setting can be found under ‘TNC Settings’ in

the web app. The default port number is 8001.

The screenshot to the right shows an example of a

properly-configured APRSdroid installation. The tracker

in this example is at IP address 192.168.1.119.
