Suggest add APRS protocal support
Am I understanding correctly that it works on top of AX.25 protocol? In that case it's not a regular TCP/UDP protocol that we have in Traccar.
No, because of the APRS packet is base on the ASCII encoded, there is a server named "APRS-IS" is using TCP/UDP protocol to get the client position or send another's postion to the client and exchange more user's position between two server. A open source client here: https://aprsdroid.org/

At this time, many amateur radio has build in APRS protocal sending function , it is very easily to use in a car , and there are so many Apps for APRS to report there GPS position to the APRS server, so I suggest to add APRS protocal support in the traccar server, thanks.
