TAPR has brought many advances to ham radio Partial list of TAPR projects TNC1 TNC2 AX.25 protocol Modems - 9600 baud packet, PSK DSP-93 - programmable hardware for DSP modems and filters METCON - telemetry by packet radio GPS - Provided source of OEM Receivers and supporting hardware Time and frequency Projects - TAC, TADD et al MIC-E - APRS mini-controller in partnership with Paccomm. PIC-E - APRS tracker kit T-238 - APRS weather station controller Books - Wireless Digital Communications, Packet Radio, Spread Spectrum Update, BBS Sysop Guide. APRS QSY Project - move all North American APRS to 144.39 MHz APRS Working Group - wrote APRS specification
TAPR has no paid engineering staff TAPR has no paid engineering staff. All the projects over the years were developed by hams who had an idea and brought it to TAPR for support or encouragement. Projects typically go through the process of building a few prototypes which get tested by a small group of those interested in the project. Once the design is finalized, TAPR does what in effect is a group purchase of parts which are then kitted and sold at a price that includes a small mark up to offset operating expenses. TAPR is not just about projects and kits TAPR provides ongoing communications - spreading the word - for all interested parties Mail lists / SIGs PSR - Packet Status Register quarterly newsletter ARRL-TAPR Digital Communications Conference (DCC) Hamvention forums and booth Encouraging international amateurs to present at DCC or Hamvention forums
TAPR continues to push the envelope by producing HPSDR boards and kits, by supporting the early development of Codec2 and spreading the word via forums and the DCC. TAPR also supported the initial development of Whitebox. TAPR continues the expansion of Time and Frequency related kits. TAPR is a community that provides leadership and resources to radio amateurs for the purpose of advancing the radio art.
