This means that APRS runs in connection less mode, whereby AX.25 frames are transmitted without expecting any response, and reception at the other end is not guaranteed.At a higher level, APRS supports a messaging protocol that allows users tos end short messages (one line of text) to nominated stations, and expects to receive acknowledgements from those stations.
