+| The following packet formats are supported:
+
+-  normal/compressed position reports
+-  mic-e
+-  messages (inc. telemetry, bulletins, etc)
+-  base91 commenet telemetry
+
+Quick start
+-----------
+

+
+.. code:: python
+
+    import aprs
+    packet = aprs.parse('LZ1DEV>APRS:>status text')
+
+APRS-IS
+^^^^^^^
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    import aprs
+
+    def callback(packet):
+        print packet
+
+    AIS = aprs.IS("LZ1DEV")
+    AIS.connect()
+    AIS.consumer(callback)
