[amsat-bb] Best APRS software for Windows (and Pi and Android)?

[Fred Hillhouse]

By the way, if you send a message from any client (YAAC, APRSIS32 or a D72
radio) to ISS with anything for text, you will receive the next pass
predictions.

Hi Ken,

APRS client for windows is easily APRSIS32 by Lynn KJ4ERJ
(http://aprsisce.wikidot.com/ )  Very much current and actively
maintained.  It also includes satellite pass predictions via APRS
(keeping this satellite-relevant).

APRS client for Raspberry Pi:  My preference here is YAAC by Andrew
KA2DDO (https://www.ka2ddo.org/ka2ddo/YAAC.html).  If you don't need a
user interface (i.e. just for beacons, digipeating, and iGating),
Direwolf is a very good choice all by itself.  I run them together, with
Direwolf just handling the KISS TNC functions, and YAAC doing the
Graphical interface.

Android:  APRSdroid gets my vote, though there are others.
