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.

Yes.

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...  ;-)
