   Please do not post links to passcode cracking sites. Per APRS-IS guidelines, it is the responsibility of APRS software authors to provide APRS-IS passcodes to their users.

     Link Removed. That said, software vendors are NOT providing a means of obtaining a passcode, so this will likely prevent any future ad-hoc APRS-IS Gateways from being brought online. The cure may be worse than the disease.

     Wondering if this was a recent change to recommended practice as this post was 3 years old?

     Glad you found it Steve – registration seems to be a manual process and is often fraught with issues, like the code appearing in your Spam box. But it is what it is and it serves a very important function by ensuring that only licensed hams get the code.

     Send a copy of your ham radio license with an email request for the passcode to http://www.arrl.org/find-an-amateur-radio-license-class
