Hi,
I'm trying to decode an APRS packet with the TMC3101 modem, now I have to read the data via Arduino.
Can I use simply the softwareSerial or should I do it in another way.

Thanks in advance.

AltSoftSerial is best, but you must use two specific pins (8 & 9 on an UNO, different for other Arduinos).

My NeoSWSerial is next best. It works on any two pins, but only at baud rates 9600, 19200 and 38400.

Absolute worst is SoftwareSerial. It disables interrupts for long periods of time, which can interfere with other parts of your sketch or with other libraries. It cannot transmit and receive at the same time.
