seminar was a detailed introduction to the FlexNet network. John, KB2SCS, EC/RO Islip and NLI's DEC for Digital discussed the Ecomms Packet SOP.

One important tool at our disposal is the Automatic Packet Reporting System or APRS®.
It is vital to the operation to know where our operators are at all times during an emergency. APRS allows us to do just that!
