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 ground...Keith and Bdale both currently own and use the <http://yaesu.com/indexVS.cfm?cmd=DisplayProducts&ProdCatID=111&encProdID=4C6F204F6FEBB5BAFA58BCC1C131EAC0&DivisionID=65&isArchived=0> 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
