FOXVIEW3 is latest
revision of APRS Viewers for radio amateurs. FoxView and
FoxView2
received good response and enough feedback from users.
Redesigned FoxView3 is basically a simple stand
alone APRS Viewer, just like the original FOXVIEW.
FoxView3 has:
1. APRS Viewer on 4 x 20 LCD
2. APRS Position Encoder (Fix Home
Position or GPS)
3. Built-in "Fill-in" Digi
4. APRS TNC (APRS DATA from Radio to PC)
In addition to above, FoxView3 is a tracker too.
However, since that function is not intended for this project, you may
have to do small mod to enable it.
Designed with a large 4x20 Characters Back-lite
LCD Display, FoxView3 only requires an
audio input from your receiver or transceiver and a DC 12V supply.
FoxView3 is basically designed for APRS Demos, general Viewing of APRS
Data while moving and Personally, I would love to have this device to monitor
APRS activities at my home without using a PC!!
After all these goodies, it should not cost a
fortune. In fact, with few components from here & there, you will
be able to build this viewer/encoder yourself & enjoy APRS activities.
FoxView3 is basically combination of FOXVIEW
and FoxDigi which proved to be very useful
project for Amateur Radio.
Cases for FV3 are on order and expected to
be available by end of Dec 09
