Example for APRS in BPQ

This will act as an iGate from RF, but will not digipeat or gate from APRS-IS to RF.

In this example, port 2 is HF and port 4 is UHF.

This block of text can go at the end of the BPQ32.cfg file, for example, if on Windows.

After this is set up and BPQ restarted, there should be some new links in the web interface.

Link to the APRS dashboard: http://localhost:8008/aprs/all.html

Link to the APRS map: http://localhost:8008/aprs.html
