Raspberry Pi and APRS through rtl-sdr

I am not home, so I can't try this...but I found this snippet...

  1. $ rtl_fm -f 144.390M -s 22050 | multimon-ng -v 10 -t raw -A -
 and multimon-ng seems to be the key to this all...

this post seems to have trouble compiling the multimon-ng on the Pi

 this one is using the Pi to decode pagers...but describes the installation of multimon-ng (and the rest of rtl-sdr)

Sorta like the ADS-B data, this will simply be the raw messages...at this point...


Now this guy is using a graphic display

Xastir is the graphics display program.

Seems like Xastir is a full on APRS interface...not just a display...

...I might have to attempt connecting  a TH-D7 with build in TNC via serial to USB to the Pi...
