Since we spend more time on ARPS now than we do on the HF we made this heer webpage to talk about it.
Our names are Larry and Berry. We have the HAM RADIO callsigns of KR6AZ and W6EZ
Larry is KR6AZ and Berry is W6EZ. That is really important because if you were to like
call us on the HAM RADIO band and if you called like KR6AZ and then asked for Berry we
would think you were reel stupid and stuff and then we wouldn't answer you.
Only one of us is typing in this webpage because the other one sux at HTML.
Ok, we got started in ARPS because we both got them KENWOOD TM-D700A(g) radios and the
KENWOOD TH-D7A(g) handheld walkie talkies too! We both bought our KENWOOD TM-D700A(g)
radios from the ham radio store but we didn't get them both from the same store or at
the same time. We did this because we are real technical kind of guys and we wanted to see
if the radios would be different from different storesbut we looked at them real hard and they are the same
so it don't make no difference where you get one because they are the same anyway.
We got our KENWOOD TH-D7A(g) walkie talkies from a guy that like has
2000 of them so he sold us two for a real good price. We got some extra stuff too and than made the deal
really sweet. He did this for us because we know a lot about computers and radios and batteries and stuff
and he wanted us to have the best radios. If you are thinking that maybe you could ask this guy
to give you a deal like we got youare probally wasting your time because you don't know him
and if you did you probally ain't cool enough anyway to get a deal like what we did.
We were real lucky to get the ones what have the "G" because they are better than the ones what don't have it.
They are real hard to get according to the guy that sold them to us. We talked about it and we think KENWOOD
only sells the ones with the little "G" to the real technical HAM RADIO guys because most of the other HAM
RADIO guys don't know enough to get all they can out of the "G" models. We are real smart about radios and
even we don't know about all the stuff you can do with the radios with the "G" so we know they are reel special
radios. If you rode the short bus to school you don't need none anyway so just get the one that came before the ones
with the little "g" cause you will need to know a lot about computers and stuff to make them work.
Now, as to ARPS. Read real slow if you have to and we will try to tell you about ARPS.
If you ain't reel smart about computers and stuff this might be hard for you, but we will type reel slow.
A.R.P.S. is a real technical way for reel smart HAM RADIO guys to do HAM RADIO.
You have to be real smart to even try it. Oh, and you have to have a HAM RADIO license to do it too.
HAM RADIO ain't CB. You can't say 10-4 and stuff like that on The HAM RADIO band.
You have to study reel hard to pass some tests that the FFCs give youbefore you can go onto the
HAM RADIO band. It is reel hard and it takes some guys like five years to get
their HAM RADIO license. We were reel lucky because we were all technical and we did it reel quick.
ARPS stands for Awesome Radio Packet Screen.
And the guy that thought that up was real smart because when you see your "blinky" on the computer
screen for the first time it really is AWESOME! So ARPS is reel cool name for ARPS.
The only thing we dont like about ARPS so far is all the packet racket noise
it makes but you get used to it after a week or two and then it dont matter so much.
For those of you what ain't reel smart in computers and stuff, the "blinky" is the little picture you see on
the screen of your computer when you are a running ARPS. All the other HAM RADIO guys that are
running ARPS at the same time can see your little picture all at the same time. If you have one of
them satallite tracking things and you can get it to hook up to your HAM RADIO it can report if you
are moving or not. Not too many people what run ARPS have them things because you have to be
like in the government or something to get one because the are like top secrete UFO kind of stuff.
HAM RADIO guys that are on Space Net get these stallite tracking things cause they know cops and
people in the NASA and stuff so they can get them so they have them trackers for ARPS. We don't know
no cops or NASA guys yet but since we are reel smart about radios and computers we will someday.
You have to be REEL CAREFUL when you set up your position with ARPS. If you don't watch
what you are doing, you can end up with your blinky out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean!
One of us did that by mistake and it took most of a week for the truck to dry out. So Don't be no
dumbass and end up with your blinky in the middle of a cave or sumthing. This stuff is reel hard.
Oh, and you can send messages back and forth on ARPS with out talking and stuff. If you are a real
fast reader you can read most everthing that someone sends you. It don't stay on the screen for long
but like we said you have to be a real fast reader and try reel hard to keep up.
The way ARPS works is that your radio is hooked up to a little box what hooks to your radio.
Then you can hook the little box to your radio and them ARPS goes out from your computer
to the little box and then out from your radio. It then goes through the air and then it goes into
somebody eles's radio and into the little box and then into the computer at somebody else's
ARPS radio station on the HAM RADIO band. We think on of the cool things about the
KENWOOD radios with the little "g" is that you don't need no little box to hook up to
your radio because the KENWOOD radios have the little box inside the radios.
When we get it all figured out we are going to hook them up that way.
We like ARPS a whole lot more than IRLP or ECHOlink because ARPS can work with just radios on the
HAM RADIO band and don't use no internet like the IRLP and the ECHOlink does. Those IRLP and
ECHOlink guys all think they are reel smart because they use their computers to talk to each other but
we know they are just using the internet and they ain't smart as guys who just use the HAM RADIO band
for all their long distance communicating stuff. Using the internet is like shooting birds in a cage.
Now this ARPS stuff is also hopping through the air from one ARPS set up to another and finally it
gets to one of them DIGI Peters. A DIGI Peter is one of them ARPS set ups that have a reel
high up antenna. Some guys even put DIGI Peters on the tops of reel big hills and stuff.
DIGI is a technical way that smart guys say digital and we concluded that the first guy to
think it up musta been named Peter so they named it after him. HAM RADIO is reel cool
that way because if you think up something reel smart they will name it after you.
There were a bunch of HAM RADIO guys that got stuff named after them. becaue they are smart.
Volt
AMP
OHM
FARRAD
All these guys were HAM RADIO guys what found out some reel technical stuff and
got stuff named after them. That must have been a long time ago because we can't
find out what their HAM RADIO call signs were. Maybe the FFC lost the records.
Some people think Ben Franklin was a HAM RADIO guy because he discovered that lightnening
is like electricity and stuff but we know better. There wern't even no HAM RADIO back then so he was
just a bootlegger guy doin stuff like technical and scientific experiments without no license from the FFC.
Anyway, them DIGI Peters sends the ARPS stuff to radios all over the world. We heard that there
is a ARPS DIGI Peter on the space station, but it was one of those Spacenet guys telling us that
and we figure he was just trying to show off. We watched for it but we didn't see no blinky for ISS.
We know we are getting two technical and stuff right now so we will give you time for it all
to sink in. We can add more later if you want. Just call for us on the HAM RADIO band and let us know.
When you need to get ahold of us we will probally be in our BIG RIG talking on the HAM RADIO band.
Here is a pitcher of it. It has TWO of those reel big SCREWDRIVER antennas so we can get out real good.
We bent the ends of the antennas so there would be less drag from the air and stuff when we are running down the road.
We thought this up all by ourselves because we are always thinking about technical things like that and stuff.
Anyway it sure helps save on diesel fuel. And with what diesel costs we can save a bunch of money and stuff.
We can tell you more about this stuff but you are probally all confused by now unless you
are real smart with computers and stuff like we are. But if you want to know more there is
a lot of stuff on the entranet but you will probally want to talk to some
HAM RADIO guys first because like we said it is all technical and stuff
and just reading it will give you a reely big old throbin headache like we got the first time.
Besides the one that is typing this is getting tired now and the other one can't type in this page because he sux at HTML.
*** NEW STUFF ***
We may be traveling around a giving lessons on ARPS at some HAM RADIO ham fests and stuff. So look for us.
We have been teaching ARPS classes down at the local chuch. Sum of the emails we have been getting are from
folks what don't think we are smart enough to teach about ARPS on the HAM RADIO band so we took this
pitcher of the sign out in front of the church to prove we are reel smart and are teaching classes just like we said.
We think it would be reel cool to put a ARPS tracker thing on a UFO so we could watch it fly around while it was visiting
other UFOs and planets reel far out in outter space. We don't know no UFO space aliens but if you do, PLEASE
contact us on the HAM RADIO band so we can get with the UFO space aliens and get a ARPS tracker on their ship.
This would help inter planetary relations along with getting the space aliens intrested is being on the HAM RADIO band.
Sum of the ARPS and Spacenet guys have been calling us names and saying that they are going to beat us
up and stuff like that.We don't mean to make nobody mad and stuff, but if they spend more time studying
about ARPS and less time worring about this webpage they could be reel smart like us and then we wouldn't
make them feel like they can't work their radios on the HAM RADIO band.
Somebody even tried to send us a virus on the HAM RADIO band but we caught it in time.
We knew that if you see somethig like *RELAY,WIDE,TRACE3-3
it is a virus so we shut our radios off reel quick and we didn't get no virus.
If you , or any other HAM needs help setting up your radios or computers or stuff you can ask us on the
HAM RADIO band and we will be reel happy to help you. We are reel smart in stuff like that and we
don't try to keep no secrets or nothing. We can even build computers if you need one. We just built a 486SX
for a big company so they could do the payroll and look at pitchers on the internet. It runs reel fast too.
So don't get mad at us for being so smart and knowing about all kinds of technical stuff.
But please, we don't program no VCRs.
We finally got to know some important people (like cops and stuff) and they told us how to get those tracker GPS boxes!
Now we will have moving blinkys when we are out driving our trucks around to churches and stuff
to teach other folks about how to run ARPS on the HAM RADIO band. (Not CB)
We didn't waste our time with them juker trackers neither. We got the best ones to get because we wouldn't be
satisfied with just plain ones,(what with us being all technical and stuff.) We got them Jarmin GPS tracker boxes.
GPS stands for GREAT PACKET SKREEN because when you have a blinky that moves it is just GREAT!
Now we can watch ourselves move on the ARPS skreen on the HAM RADIO band. We showed it to our wives but they
wernt to impressed because they just call this stuff "more HAM RADIO stuff" and then they just go back to
watch the soap oprahs on the TV. They have HAM RADIO callsigns to, but they won't talk to us much
nomore on the HAM RADIO band. We think it is because they get embarassed what with us being so smart and stuff.
That's to bad because we could teach them to be reel smart just like us and they could do ARPS to.
One of us found out that there is a computer program for ARPS that runs on your computer and you don't need no
KENWOOD TM-D700a(g) or no KENWOOD TH-D7a(g) to run ARPS!
So we got a tee and sea and hooked it up to a computer. We used a reel fast 486 laptop because we
wanted the best computer for such a sweet thing like ARPS and stuff. It was reel hard to set up but since
we are reel smart about computers and batteries and stuff we finally got it to work. We burt our fingers alot
with the hot nail we were using to melt the sodder for all the wires but it works now. Oh, the program is called DOSARPS.
A guy from spacenet told us there is a version than runs in Windows but everything we try to run in Windows 3.1 locks up
so we don't think Windows is so hot. This the year 2005 and if DOS is good enough for the sicence guy down at
the labratory at a reel technical place like the labratory at the feed mill it is good enuff for us!
Besides, DOS is the latest OS what's out for computers and stuff. If you aint reel smart about computers and stuff,
DOS stands for DATA OPENING SKREEN because thats what computers do. They open DATA on your Skreen.
We will keep teaching you more and more about this ARPS stuff if you will keep checking this page
from time to time. We dont keep no secrets for other folks on the HAM RADIO band and we want everyone
to be reel smart about radios and batteries and all kind of technical stuff.
Heer are the files you will need to run APRS on your computer.
DOS APRS
We can run this outta Windows but we like to just run it off DOS.
If you run it out of Windows you will need to make a icon ( not ICOM because that is a kind of radio )
but it will work on Windows98 and stuff.
If you are one of them folks sending us emails and calling us names and saying you are going to beat us up and stuff,
we wish you would stop. We dont call you names and say we are going to beat you up and stuff.
We just want to tell other folks how much we like ARPS and computers and radios on the HAM RADIO band and stuff.
One of us, and we aint telling you which one, even loves ARPS and talking on the HAM RADIO band so much
that he got him one of them TATOOs to show how much he loves it.
You can see it if you click where we show you below.
Please don't ask us which one of us got the tattoo because we already told you we won't say who it is.
Dont click noplace else cause it wont work if you click some other place and not the spot we tell you to click on.
THE REELY REELY BIG FIRE!!
We found out that you can set fire to one of those TH-D7A(g) handitalkies!
If you set it up to send out it's traker information at like every 2 seconds and stuff,
and if you run it on FULL POWER and if you have sum bad coax it will burn up the
2 meter HAM RADIO band side and not work no more. The 440 side is just fine but we cant find
nobody that wants to do ARPS with us on the 440 side. The HAM RADIO band is funny like that.
We didnt mean for this to happen and we dont think KENWOOD ever wanted to make a
radio for the HAM RADIO band that would burn up so easy but you know what they say.
STUFF HAPPENS AND STUFF
We think we have it all worked out now and we wont be having no more fires and stuff. One of us,
and we aint telling you which one of us it is just seems to have a black thumb and stuff just dies
and stuff when he tries to work stuff on the HAM RADIO band. He has a big pile of dead stuff.
Some of the stuff can be fixed, but some of it is reel dead and smells like hot brakes and stuff.
This just goes to show that even if a person is reel smart about all kinds of technical stuff like
computers and batteries and radios and stuff they can have bad stuff happen. It is just part of the
way you learn stuff. So if you are not reel smart about technical stuff be reel careful or you may
burn up all kinds of radios and batteries. We are just trying to warn you so it wont happen to you.
Anyway we had to go back to that guy who has like 2000 radios and stuff to get more radios.
We will reely be in trouble if he ever runs out but it dont look like he ever will because he has more
radios than the radio store does and he lives way out in the woods so he dont get out much to sell them.
The Scary Guy that was mad at us.
We almost got hurted by one of those guys from spacenet or ARPS because a guy came yelling at us
and said he was going to beat us up and stuff. We took a pitcher of him just before we gave him
a samich. We have the pitcher heer on the page but you will have to click where we tell you to because
he was too scary to have on the main page where someone might see him without a warning and stuff.
So if you want to see him you can click where we tell you to. Dont click noplace else if you want to see him.
He kept on asking if we had seen any CHIP bikers and stuff. We think he was going to call the cops on us.
We know he knows sum stuff about the HAM RADIO band because we were trying to talk about him using
CW ( like dahdididit didit dahdahdit ) but he knowed what we was saying. So we think he is a HAM.
*** UPDATE on the Big Guy. ***
We found out that he reely is on the HAM RADIO band and has the HAM RADIO callsign of [CALLSIGN REMOVED].
He got his self sum ARPS radios to. He has 2 KENWOOD TM-D700s. (But he don't got the ones with the 2 point oh.)
But it is all reel gude. That way he wont be trying to beat us up and stuff. He types reel wierd stuff on ARPS
like "3y3 4|\/| 7|-|3 1337 |-|4x0r 3y3 pwn j00! pf34r |\/|3 !!" We think he may be typing in kodes and snipers
and the FFCs don't allow none of that kind of stuff on the HAM RADIO band, so he is still kinda skeery.
If you want to see him then, CLICK RIGHT HERE
How to send sumeone sum e-mail from ARPS to reel e-mail.
out to the internet and to a NORMAL e-mail address. Oh we know what you are thinking but we done it!
On the KENWOOD TM_D700A(g) and the the KENWOOD TH-D7A(g)you just type email where you would put
who the e-mail is to, ( cept you dont reely put no e-mail on reel ARPS because ARPS aint reely e-mail )
then in the first part of the message where you dont put nothing except what you want to say you have to
put the e-mail address of who you want to send sum e-mail to and then you have to put in your message
all on the same line without going over 64 spaces. Then when you send the message it gets out to
the internet through one of them digi peters or sumthing. It is reel easy and stuff and it workes reel good.
We know this may be confusin for you if you aint reel smart about computers and stuff but you can learn.
We aint saying this will work with the KENWOOD radios what dont have the
little" G " cause all we got is the ones with the little " G " to try it with.
We aint figured out how to send sum email the other way yet but we will because we are reel smart about
computers and radios and batterys and stuff. So keep looking here for sum updates!
ONE of us got hurted at work. Did sumone try to get us?
It is reel sad but one of us fell off his truck at work again and hit his head.
We dont know if it was one of the guys that have been saying they are going to beat us up and stuff
that maybe gave a little push or not but we didnt see nobody pushing and stuff but maybe it was like
a booby trap with sum oil on the steps of our BIG RIG truck with twin SCREWDRIVER antennas.
It was a reel bad injury to. We had to go see the doctor and stuff. We didnt get stiches this time
but we hit reel hard and we saw STARS and stuff and our hands went all tingly and we felt reel dizy.
The doctor axed us how much we fall down and when we told him he sent us to the sick brain doctor.
That doctor told us we will probally have to wear on of them BUMPING HATS so we wont get no notts.
But that is ok. They say every cloud has a silver linen and this thing got us to thinking and stuff.
What if we put a ARPS GPS unit on the helment so other folks watching ARPS could see when a feller
fell down and then they could call and check on him to see if he hurt his head and stuff.
So we are working on it now and when we get it finished we will take it up to the state hospital
and show it to the sick brain doctor and see if he can help us sell it to other folks what fall down.
So that BUMPING HAT is out of the question like they say and stuff. We are reely not going to ware sumthing
that looks like underwear on our heads. So we took a old motorsickle helment that we were using
to ride motorsickles and stuff and then we drilled it and put sum screws in it and sum wires
and sum velcrow and we got us a BUMPING HELEMENT that we can hook up a GPS tracker unit to.
We might get reel rich off this idear and then we can buy our own radio store and a new pickup
and one of them WWW websites and a BIG SKREEN TV and maybe even a bait shop and stuff like that.
So we may never know if one of them Spacenet or ARPS guys or that big feller from the other day
tried to get us or not. We wish we knew if sumbody tried to get us or not because it is reel
scary because it could have killed us dead. Maybe sumone wants us to stop experementing on ARPS
and our BUMPING HELEMENT and stuff but we will keep working on this BUMPING HELEMENT and stuff.
The world needs it and we like helping the world and stuff cause we are on the HAM RADIO band.
when you want to become like a ARPS COP?
pitchers are reel, and sum of them ain't. Anyway if you found one of the pitchers with flowers on the sunglasses
that's a reel pitcher but it ain't. And if you seen one of the pitchers with the guy..oh heck..I ain't sayin no more
except that this webage on the internet is a joke and we dont mean nuthing by it so if you get mad JUST GET OVER IT.
