<div>Ladies & Gentlemen...</div>

<div>The simplest solution to get individual APR passcodes is to use the APRSPASS program that's installed with APRSD. There's nothing mysterious or secret about acquiring APRS passcodes. Here's a cut and paste about APRSPASS:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>---</div>
<div>
<h3>APRS passcode calculator (new in 2.1.1)</h3>The aprspass program is located in the /home/aprsd2 directory. You may move it to another more convienient location if you wish. To determine the aprs passcode required for a callsign "N0CALL":<br>
Change to the /home/aprsd2 directory.<br><pre>./aprspass N0CALL
APRS passcode for N0CALL = 12345
</pre><br>---<br></div>
<div class="gmail_quote">I've used APRSPASS to generate passwords for several programs, including UIVIEW32, javAPRS, APRSD, Xastir, etc.</div>
