APRSIS32 is a Windows-based client for the Automatic Packet Reporting System, a digital communications protocol used worldwide by amateur-radio operators to transmit real-time position data, weather reports, short messages, and telemetry over VHF, UHF, and HF channels. Developed by wikidot contributor KJ4ERJ and released in a single public build dated 2020-05-01, the program decodes AX.25 packets received via radio or Internet, plots stations on scalable raster or vector maps, and can simultaneously gate traffic between RF and APRS-IS servers. Typical deployments include tracking high-altitude balloons, monitoring marathon or bicycle-event support teams, coordinating emergency-communications nets, and displaying neighborhood weather stations on a single dashboard. Users can configure multiple TNCs, audio-based packet modems, or TCP/IP connections; transmit beacon packets at programmable intervals; and filter the global APRS stream to show only relevant callsigns, symbols, or geographic areas. The interface supports split-screen messaging, directional antenna pointing, and live telemetry graphing, while an internal scripting engine allows automated responses or scheduled status broadcasts. Because the software is built for the 32-bit Windows API, it runs unchanged on Windows 7 through Windows 10 and remains lightweight enough for field laptops or low-power tablets used during portable operations. APRSIS32 is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
