APEX is a next generation APRS based protocol. This repository represents the reference implementation and is a full features application for digipeating across multiple AX.25 KISS TNC devices using the full APEX stack.

For more information on the project please check out the project's home page.

Installation

Install the application using pip.

pip install apex-radio

Running the app

The application is written for python 2 or 3. Once installed copy the apex.conf.example file over to apex.conf in the /etc directory, then edit the file and replace it with your details. Next just run the application with the following command.

apex -v

There isn't much to the application right now, so thats all you should need to run it. Digipeating will occur automatically and respond to the WIDEN-n paradigm as well as your own callsign. Cross-band repeating is enabled right now but only by specifying the call sign directly. The application is still pre-release so more features and configuration options should be added soon.
