30m APRS and Iridium Sat tracking, also to APRS

Well, today turned out to be a bit of a test run with 30m APRS using the IC-705, with the remote M2 Stack Bluetooth display (see a previous post) and an Argent Data OT2m. I also set up the inReach Mini 2 to report to APRS every 20 minutes using the inreach2aprs code which is running on a pi3(also see a previous post).

You can see the the display is showing 10.147.100 MHz, this is because the OT2m runs a 2100/2300 (Group E) frequency pairing. This is contrary to what is stated in the manual. It always pays to check these things.

If only the car could have behaved itself. I will take it to the car doctor and see what he says. It may actually be time to retire the X-Trail. Which will be sad as it has taken us on a lot of great adventures around this big island called Australia.
