# APRS Beacon

Command-line tool for sending out APRS-IS beacons

I use this script to broadcast my home `VA3ZZA` marker on the APRS network.

## How it works

The script generates a packet based on commandline arguments, and sends it to APRS-IS. Using the `--wx-mode` flag, this script will re-broadcast weather data as a WX station.

```text

usage: aprsbcn [-h] -c CALLSIGN [--ssid SSID] [--symbol SYMBOL] [--latlong LATLONG] [--message MESSAGE] [--wx-mode] [--dry-run]

optional arguments:

  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

  -c CALLSIGN, --callsign CALLSIGN

                        Callsign

  --ssid SSID           APRS SSID

  --symbol SYMBOL       APRS Symbol

  --latlong LATLONG     Comma-seperated lat and long of the station (defaults to geoip)

  --message MESSAGE     APRS message

  --wx-mode             Run in WX mode

  --dry-run             Run without actually sending the packet

```
