What is WinLink 2000
What is WinLink 2000? WinLink 2000 is a system that utilizes enabling technologies (VHF/UHF Packet, HF Pactor l, ll, lll, D-Star, 802.11) and sound operating practices to provide a full-featured radio digital message transfer system, worldwide. E-mail transfer with attachments, position reporting, graphic or text-based weather bulletins, and emergency communications are now available separately to the Amateur radio, Army Military Affiliate Radio System (MARS), and UK Cadet Forces communities by linking radio to the Internet.
Information sent via WinLink 2000 is secure from casual viewing and
interception.

What is APRS? "Automatic Packet Reporting System" (APRS) is a real-time tactical digital communications protocol for exchanging information between a large number of stations covering a large (local) area. Typically, this information is position data (latitude/longitude) of a vehicle or other item. In an emergency situation emergency responders need not know street names or other location data if they know that their APRS signals are being monitored. Short text messages can also be transmitted using APRS, allowing real-time messaging between stations.

Why???
Wisconsin ARES/RACES WinLink/APRS Implementation on 145.610 MHz
• Eliminating interference caused by running APRS on 145.390 MHz, and WinLink on 145.610 MHz while operating within close proximity of one another during an incident.
• Save on resources in the field.
• Continue to provide access to distant RMS Nodes in the event of Internet failure.
• Help in determining what resources are available, and monitor assets during an incident in real time.

APRS Emergency is an application that works along
side UI-View32. And aids with finding emergency APRS beacons on UI-View32.
Wisconsin ARES/RACES WinLink/APRS Implementation on 145.610 MHz
When someone sends out an emergency
beacon, APRS Emergency places a red circle around the
object, and sounds an alarm.
How does your county let responders know what resources
are available during an incident, is it in real time? If someone used an emergency APRS beacon in your county for help could you them?
