The HinzTec – anyfrog is the stand alone APRS weather- and position system for fixed and mobile use. Now with KISS mode for receive and transmit! This unit is the ideal stand alone solution for the demanding APRS – user with a multitude of options.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The HinzTec – anyfrog unit connects your weather station with the APRS \u2013 network in your neighborhood. Additionally, you can transmit your fixed or mobile GPS position in a variety of formats. Status messages are optional. Incoming analog 1k2 signals can easily be decoded. An integral KISS interface enhances the applications significantly. With a current drain of only 30 mA (at 12 V) anyfrog is predestined for power conscious applications.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

More and more stations are now QRV on APRS, all using the same frequency. Cooperation among users is therefore necessary to avoid interference. Here is the solution: anyfrog enables collision free operation on the usual APRS frequencies. Through its digital DCD, anyfrog allows transmission of the beacon whenever the frequency is totally clear. The transceiver can be unsquelched, but even weak signals are recognized positively and quickly. The likelihood that your beacon information can be read by other participants thus increases significantly.<\/p>\n

anyfrog successfully powered all currently tested weather stations directly, without requiring additional voltages for communications.<\/p>\n

Currently implemented Weather Stations:<\/strong><\/p>\n

TFA MATRIX-II \/ WS-2300 and compatible units
\nRadioShack WX 200 \/ Huger WM 918
\nHuger WMR-918 \/ WMR-928\/ WMR-968
\nDavis VANTAGE with seriell interface
\nPeet Bros. ULTIMETER 2100 \/ 2000 \/ 800 \/ 100
\nRadiointerface S 2000 ID for CONRAD WS-7000 \/ ELV WS2000 \/ WMR 900H \/ La Crosse WS-2010<\/p>\n

Whether you operate in mobile or fixed mode, anyfrog is the ideal APRS position system. In either mode, you have the option to transmit a stored position or an actual GPS-position from anyfrog. Note: in the latter case, a separate GPS receiver is required.
\nThe local range function can inhibit the transmission of the beacon within approximately 200 meters of a fixed, stored position. The dynamic timer calculates the optimal timing between subsequent beacons to reach a reasonable ratio between beacon timing and velocity. Transmissions that would unnecessarily lead to crowded band condition can thus be avoided. iSetup will facilitate the change from the mobile to the fixed mode, and vice versa. This system creates two different configurations, that can be selected, depending on your needs. No more need to reconfigure the settings each time.<\/p>\n

Starting with firmware version 1.2, anyfrog can demodulate received analog 1k2 signals. anyfrog incorporates a KISS interface to communicate with a PC or other hardware. This facilitates ongoing data manipulation, such as direct indication of received APRS stations in programs like TrackOn 1.2. Other programs or hardware must use the KISS protocol in order to interface with anyfrog.<\/p>\n

No matter what your mode of operations is, anyfrog is your APRS program!<\/p>\n

The following block diagram illustrates how HinzTec’s – anyfrog interfaces with the peripheral devices. The transceiver can be disabled through the green connections automatically during transmit pauses, which reduces power consumption significantly.<\/p>\n
