Subject: [altusmetrum] Direction finding how-to?

 

Hi,

 

Does anyone have any instructions (or good how-to references) on how to do 
direction finding with a HT and the TeleMetrum or TeleGPS? I read on the 
website that it can be done:

 

"... you can use that with your antenna to direction-find the rocket on the

 Yaesu VX-6R at launches."

 

I own the VX-6X (albeit I am only familiar with the basic APRS stuff on it). If 
anyone can point me at some information on how to use this to direction find 
with the Tele* units, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

 

Best regards, 

Rob
