Incoming APRS messages parser for Yaesu VX-8DR/DE.
This project was used to explore memory contents of my Yaesu VX-8DE transceiver. I was looking for incoming APRS messages for APRS beacons map project.
The project parses memory dumps saved by Chirp and displays incoming APRS messages. It consists of three main classes:
Parser - the parser which reads data from memory dump file parses incoming messages and prints them.
Metadata - class that maps metadata of each incoming APRS packet.
BeaconPacket - class that maps incoming APRS packets. It stores source and destination call signs, path and message body.
The parser.py script can be run from command line using the following command:
python parser.py [file_name]
where [file_name] is name and full path of the file containing VX-8DR/DE memory dump.
- Yaesu VX-8DR/DE APRS Beacons Map
- Chirp repository: Yaesu VX-8 driver - memory maps for bot VX-8R and VX-8DR.
- Chirp repository: Yaesu VX-8R Image used for testing the VX-8R parser.
