Send EMAIL via APRS

You can send internet EMAIL from an APRS station to any email account. This may be of particular interest to mobiles with APRS running, or TH-D7A or TM-D700/D710 radios that can process APRS one-liner formatted messages.

To send email, start the APRS message send window. In the destination field, where you would normally just enter the recipient's callsign, you type in EMAIL, all in caps, as indicated.

In the body of the message, you first type the intended recipient's email address, then leave a blank space, then begin typing the message. When done typing, click on SEND to get the message on its way.

You must be w/i range of an internet gate in order for the message to continue on via the internet. The message is routed by APRSERV to the mail server in New Jersey, where it is reformatted into a internet email message, and then sent.

You should receive an acknowledgement from the New Jersey email server, over the air. If you get this, you can count on your message getting onto the internet, and on its way to the recipient.
