Jeez, folks ...lets get a grip
I deleted the original guy's question, but my sense was that he was asking
for advice on buying a GPS that would tell him where he was when he hit a
sat. I don't recall that he asked how to build a watch when he just needed
the time !!
So, I'll pose my question
I have one; what would you like to know about it (never having been on a
DXpedition myself)?
I find it is a very good all-in-one GPS. I use it in the car, on hikes, etc.
It's small enough to fit in my pocket, and big enough to see what's on the
screen when driving. I found that one of
I have a Garmin GPSmap 76 that is in excess to my needs. It displays Grid's.
It comes with a serial cable, and possibly a mounting bracket(if I can find
it). I will sell it for $120, which includes shipping. I will also donate
1/2 of my net from the sale to AMSAT.

Hi Patrick...
For historical reference...somehow I don't think you would ever be
questioned about your locations ala the DXpeditions by Don Miller in the
1960's. Technology has come too far...

What is this 'GPSMAP76S'??? If I am understanding correctly, it plots grids
on the GPS screen? If so, is this software or a separate GPS receiver? I
have a Garmin Venture HC, would it be applicable to it? It would be a lot
easier to look down and see what grid you are in on the display
I just checked pricing. $80 shipped would be more in line...

Several have reported to me that some of my grid-boundary expedition

Zack,
I used to have a old Garmin GPSIII that would display maidenhead grids.
Used it when I would rover in the VHF contests. Very simple to use and
very very cheap now on the used market. It's OLD technology but I don't
think anyone will fault you for using it even if it isn't as accurate.

gridsquare directly (assuming a GPS is plugged into it. The new
D72 coming out in the next month or so has the GPS built in,
making for a trivial package to carry.

My G-5500 AZ rotor is up to its old tricks. It is reading out the wrong
angle clear across the entire range of motion. At physical north, it
reads about 40 degrees and everywhere else noisy between 100 and 400
degrees. I assume a bad pot. Can someone guide me to the instructions

More on this. Last I send an item to Yaesu to fix, they kept it 3
months and did not fix the problem. I'd prefer to tackle it myself if
possible.

Besides the G5500, are there any other commercially available rotators on
the market?
I've had a heck of a hard time finding anything comparable on the search
engines.
Thank You,

Hello all,
Im searching for new addresses of satgates, because satgate.aprsca.net is
not working in the two ports that I have, so If anybody knows more satgates,
please share them on the list. Im trying to run a satgate to gate the iss

Thanks in advance,

Hi Joseph,
Nothing in that price range...it's either a good bit cheaper (TV rotators) or a
good bit more expensive (AlphSpid).

All,
Thank you for the responses to my email this morning. Thanks to Nick
(KB1RVT) for doing a little bit of legwork and discovering that the Venture
HC has the Maidenhead display! Yay!!! It was one of those things I needed,
I had, but never to the time to investigate it.

I want to thank everyone that made comments, suggestions, and information to
my original post. I really appreciate it. What I found out, is that there
are a lot GPS on the market and most of them will do what I want. I just
have to make up my mind on which one.
Thanks again to everyone.
Jim
