Hi Peter!
A cheap Android tablet should work fine. I use my old LG G2 smartphone or a
Nexus 7 (2013) for APRSDroid.
UISS an AWGPE are PC only software. I haven?t tried but with a Windows
tablet you might be able to install them and use it with the TNC. The
Mobilinkd talks to AWGPE and then AWG connects to UISS. There is always the
sound modem approach when using a Windows device. Again, pure speculation
since I have not tried that.

I use the mobilinkd tnc, and aprsdroid, on a motorola phone purchased (and
not activated) for $10 (including shipping).? Works great and I've used it
with an elk (and in my case the UV-5R) to work ISS passes. Combined with a
homebrew antenna, I assert it's the cheapest possible APRS sat setup :)

due to local RF sources that overwhelm the front end of cheap Chinese
handheld radios. I am positive that better handheld devices will work just
fine. The TNC is connected to the radio via the audio or data port and
connects to the Android device via Bluetooth. The 2820h uses a DIN6
connector cable, compatible with other radios such as the Yaesu FT-817 and
857.
I have an iPhone (and an iPad) and saw what Mobillinkd said on their
page about iOS, but a quick run through Amazon shows MANY Android
tablets, with Bluetooth, for well under $100.? Even under $50.
You mentioned AGWPE and UISS - those don't run on Android, do they?

Hi my friends,
The SWAYAM 437.025 CW beacon was received here in western Europe this
morning, begining after 0950 UTC, orbit number 20: five characters
strings received, each string, lasting maybe ten seconds, including
twelve Morse characters, the strings being spaced from each other by
about one minute and a half:
SWAYAMSNBNNN
SWAYAMSNVNNN
SWAYAMSNMNNN
SWAYAMSNUNNN
SWAYAMSNSNNN (only the ninth lettre changes, the one before the three
last NNN)
Here is a short sample of the record:
http://f5yg.pagesperso-orange.fr/incoming/SWAYAM_orb20_23jun2016.mp3
I removed the large intervals between each CW beacon strings to
shorten the file. I apologize for the lack of Dopper shift correction as
the frequency and tle need now to be adjusted more precisely. :-)
Best 73 !

Message-ID:
<CAN6TEUfzG7R1LfpPJh8so2re1c28Q5pbgXs-a2Hgce4yOfSavg@xxxx.xxxxx.xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Hi!
Last night around 0150 UTC (6.50pm PDT), we had a rare event - both the ISS
and NO-84 were passing by at basically the same time, and in the same
general direction. Both came out of the northwest, sweeping down the west
coast and ending up in the south-southeast. NO-84 was higher than the ISS,
and a few of us tried to make some double-hops through both.
Fernando NP4JV and I started with a path RS0ISS,APRSAT to force our packets
first through the ISS digipeater, and then through NO-84. I thought that it
might work better having ISS retransmit the packets first, then go silent
as NO-84 did its retransmissions. This did not work as well as I had hoped.
Fernando did not see any of his packets make the double-hop. I saw one of
my position packets make the double-hop near the end of the pass, but that
wasn't picked up by any of the Internet gateways listening on 145.825 MHz.
On my TH-D72A HT, I first saw "My Position via RS0ISS", followed a moment
later by "My Position via ARISS". It is unfortunate that the TH-D72A won't
store my own position in the list of stations heard, as many of the Yaesu
APRS-ready radios do, as this means I don't have any evidence to show that
packet making the double-hop. In any event, it was fun to give that a try.
There may have been one or two other stations that had packets make the
double-hop, along with what I saw for my position packet.
Beyond the double-hop experiment, this was another opportunity to practice
making QSOs using APRS messaging through the space-based digipeaters. I was
able to make quick QSOs with NP4JV (Fernando is in southern Arizona, near
the USA/Mexico border) and KG6BFD in California. I used only my TH-D72A HT
and Elk log periodic antenna as my station, and Fernando wrote about his
APRS station here on the AMSAT-BB last night. This is one way to get that
100-point ARRL Field Day bonus for making a satellite contact, something I
did during last year's Field Day.
I will be out this evening for the west-coast ISS and NO-84 passes around
0055-0125 UTC (5.55-6.25pm PDT). This time, the two will not pass over at
the same time, so there will be a chance to make QSOs through each of them
during their passes. If anyone out west is in the footprint on these passes
and wants to try to make a QSO with me, please look for WD9EWK-9 - and be
ready with APRS messages for the QSO. My TH-D72A won't show freeform text
entered into a terminal program, but will display (and store) APRS messages
addressed to my call. From a terminal program, you could send me APRS
messages using this format:
:WD9EWK-9 :Message follows the second colon
A colon goes before my call sign, a space and a colon follows the call, and
then the text of the short message. My replies to you would appear in this
format, with the other station's call in place of WD9EWK-9.

I'm sorry I missed it yesterday, but I was a bit under the weather.
I'll try to be out for tonight's passes. I'd like to get NO-84 in the log.

AMSAT,
If you plan on going to a special place between Oregon to South Carolina
along the line of Solar Eclipse TOTALITY, better make your reservations
now. (21 Aug 2017).
I just tried a few cabins and resorts in west kentucky and they were all
booked. So I gave up and called up my sister in North Georgia and said
"Family reunion at your place next August 21, 2017!
Not sure what AMSAT interest there is, but any satelliite with a camera on
it should try to get ready to take a shot of the eclipse on the ground.
A once in a lifetime opportunity.
On APRS we are probably going to encourage people to post ECLIPSE objects
when they are at totality so everyone can see it move across the country in
real time on their APRS radios.
DX'ers will probably be out in force too..

Would you happen to have a link to the ground track for this eclipse? I
ask because I might be in Maryland on that date (visiting family during
summer vacation, like I will be this year as well). Probably not in the
totality area, but even a partial is better than nothing...

The projected track map is on a Wikipedia site. Just Google it and go to
the Wikipedia site. There will be totality at my QTH. It'll be pretty cool.
Assuming clear sky, I put up a live cam.
