Yeah but............... Some fliers simply want to APRS track period. No need for a General. In fact with the now available EggFinder, one doesn't have to be a Ham to have an economical and workable GPS tracking system that works pretty well. Sure the 70cm band might have a little more range and the FT1D,
D72's and VX-8GR's can be directly wired into some handheld Garmin mapping GPS units. I think the 78 is the only current one available with the round port
but 60Cs and the desireable 60CsX's are available on ebay now. The cost of the Ham solution is pretty high. I'm not going to give it up as I have invested in it. I'm going to be happy to use my EggFinders too once I get some rockets built. Oh, I do have an inverted L in the backyard I use HF with a portable rig and antenna tuner. A lot of fun but not necessary to find rockets. Kurt
You don't have any rockets built ?????
