=== APRS
{aprsdevices} can send APRS if desired, and the
- interval between APRS packets can be configured. As each APRS
- packet takes a full second to transmit, we recommend an
- interval of at least 5 seconds to avoid consuming too much
- battery power or radio channel bandwidth. You can configure
- the APRS interval using {application}; that process is described in
- <<{configure_section}>>.

+ subsequent transmissions occur each APRS interval

AltOS supports both compressed and uncompressed APRS
position report data formats. The compressed format
