Some telemetry frames in "our" modulation and coding scheme are always sent, but with APRS turned on so much of the available transmit time is consumed that you'll see many fewer such frames in the downlink than when APRS is turned off. > That said, I suspect all the flight data is stored on the device for > download after recovery anyways?

If you have such a setup, I'm sure being able to use it for rockets too is great. That's why Keith got APRS working .. lots of folks have asked for it, and the new radio chip we're using can actually do it. But personally, ever since we got TeleBT working, I just can't imagine using anything else... ;-) 73 - Bdale, KB0G
