I don't know what you mean by this. It looks like it's all there to me: https://github.com/kk7ds/dantracker/blob/master/aprs.c#L1688 course change (corner pegging) and speed based posits. What "true SmartBeacon" feature didn't you find? Directly from Dan's own post about it: http://www.dan

Check out dantracker. It has a GUI, but sounds like it's pretty close to what you're looking for. It does smartbeaconing. I found Dan's "Dan Tracker" software after sending that email last night and emailed him to get an update. It seems it doesn't support the true SmartBeacon features but

I used dixprs on the Pi for some time and I'd recommend it as a non-gui aprs program. I still use it (on a 600MHz P3, to suit some old hardware - Baycom USCC>4 card) and I send beacons via the spool directory. It's actively supported by the author who welcomes suggestions for new features. The

Have you looked at DIXPRS? https://sites.google.com/site/dixprs/sending-packets-from-external-sources People have it running on a Pi. It doesn't do smart beaconing natively, but as you can see from the link above it will send packets created externally to the application. It's Open Source, so y
