APRS Windows Client - update Nov 1 2025

The only client I could find and use for windows is UI View 32, old as heck but it kinda works with my TH-D72A.

Kinda.

I cannot get it working in KISS mode for whatever reason, that’s my second fail as I had tried using Xastir with the D72A, had it working for a while then somehow messed up the installation and never got it working again. This seems to be a pattern with me.

The “Almost” system configurator.

Well with UI View, I do have normal mode working where I can monitor traffic and graphically display it, can interface with the D72A with the terminal but to send messages, I need to use the D72A keyboard directly. Bummer. No current documentation is out there either.

——

Update I can work this combo in standard APRS mode, since apparently UI-VEW32 does understand enough of the D72A command protocol to actually interact. On APRS Thursday I have been able to make some contacts. Been kind of enjoyable checking in on the net. The downside is its “only” packet. But still good to see all the traffic.
