APRS

Some stations on APRS are automated services — weather, SMS gateways, and more. Radio Messenger recognizes many of them, shows a friendly name and avatar, and helps you figure out how to type the right command. For group conversations over APRS, see ANSRVR groups.

Recognized services

When you message a known service, its name and avatar appear in your inbox.

Command helper

Many services expect commands in a specific format. When you message one, a helper appears above the compose field.

  • Tap a suggestion to insert it.
  • Use the chevron to open or close the helper.

Service profile

Open a service’s profile to learn more about it.

  • Read its description.
  • Follow Learn More when it’s available.
  • Check its status badge: Active, Pending, or Down for an indication if the service is operational.
