About

Beacon 73 makes sending your APRS position simple. Just open the app and start. SIMPLE BEACONING • Start or stop auto-beaconing from a clear, focused dashboard • Send your position immediately whenever you choose • See when your last beacon was sent and when the next one is due SMART TIMING Choose manual, timed, or movement-aware Smart beaconing. Beacon 73 can adapt beacon timing to your speed and direction. MAP AND TRACK • See nearby APRS station callsigns, icons, and status • View your current position and recent location track • Use a map to see other stations in real-time TRY IT SAFELY Demo Mode uses simulated data, does not request your location, and cannot transmit. Explore the app before entering your callsign. Beacon 73 connects to APRS-IS. Live operation requires a valid amateur radio callsign and APRS-IS passcode. Beacon 73 is not an emergency or safety service.
