I/O APRS Module
===============

DISCOTools I/O APRS module implements the **Automatic Position Reporting System** (APRS) 
protocol version `1.0.1 <http://www.aprs.org/doc/APRS101.PDF>`_. The protocol is a 
high-level packet-oriented real-time tactical communication and information system for
emergencies and public service applications. It operates in **connectionless mode**, 
broadcasting packets to all network nodes in a datagram-style fashion.
