About ECHOMY

APRS Echo & Signal Test Bot

What it does

ECHOMY listens for APRS messages and replies with a signal report: the RF digipeater hops your packet actually used, and the great-circle distance to the bot.

How it works

  • • Monitors APRS-IS for messages to ECHOMY
  • • Counts RF digi hops from *-marked path entries
  • • Separates the RF leg from the IGate/IS leg
  • • Sends ACK + reply with Message ID (retries until ACKed)
  • • Logs everything to SQLite

Run a test

Send an APRS message from your station:

To
ECHOMY
Message
TEST

The bot will ACK your message, then reply with hop count and distance.
