## APRS network
[APRS-IS](https://aprs.fi/)
If your receiver is decoding any APRS signals, you can share them on the [APRS-IS](https://aprs.fi/) network. This is the default configuration:
```
aprs_callsign = "N0CALL"
aprs_igate_enabled = False
aprs_igate_server = "euro.aprs2.net"
aprs_igate_password = ""
# beacon uses the receiver_gps setting, so if you enable this, make sure the location is correct there
aprs_igate_beacon = False
```
`aprs_callsign` is the callsign you'd like your spots to be sent with. Differently than on pskreporter though, this callsign may be used by the network if your message is re-broadcast by other igate stations. Since this cannot be controlled by the reporting station, I suppose this is a feature only to be used by hams.
`aprs_igate_enabled` tells the system to start the decoder with the igate functionality enabled, which basically means that anything that's decoded gets fed back to the network.
`aprs_igate_server` is the server that you'd like to connect to. The default value is reasonable for pretty much anywhere of Europe, however it is always recommended to check if there's any server available close to your receiver. I do not have any comprehensive list or documentation on how to obtain these servers at my hand.
`aprs_igate_password` is the password that, in combination with the callsign, identifies you on the network. Depending on the server software in use on the other side, this may or may not be optional. It can be generated easily, please refrain to your preferred search engine on how to do this.
`aprs_igate_beacon` tells the receiver to publish its own location on the network in intervals. Before enabling this, please make sure that the `receiver_gps` is set to the correct location of the receiver.
Please note: APRS data is forwarded to the network straight from the decoding software (direwolf).
