FoxView: An APRS Stand-Alone LCD Viewer using PIC16F628A & MX614

Completed FoxView:

APRS activities have changed the very basic concept of amateur radio. Radio Amateurs, who hated digital mode, have at least started paying attention to APRS. After successful results of my APRS Tracker: FoxTrak: built by hundreds of Radio Amateurs Globally, I decided to make this Stand-Alone APRS Viewer to monitor APRS packets. Some interesting features of this Project: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8)

Do not require PC to monitor APRS Packets. Large 2 x 40 Char. LCD Display. Ideal for portable and automotive use. Nothing to adjust once basic configuration is made. Backlight may be switched off to save power. May be use for Emergency Community Network for messaging. Includes a Modem. Only requires DC 12V & Audio from Radio. Double Sided quality PCB. Measures only 12x7 cm
