Y'know, now that I think about it you could probably do the same thing with
multiple instances of xastir, with each of the n>1 instances using a unique
alternate config (IIRC that's xastir -f /path/to/config/dir ).
I've decided to go a different route and add APRS capability to my xbee
trackers. Makes it easier to have multiple units on the air at the same time
(multiple rockets prepped and ready, a tracker gets loaned out, multiple stages
being tracked, etc) as well as simplifying ground station requirements, xbee
configuration, etc.
Looking at the eggfinder, I'm pretty sure it would be easy to wedge a 3.3v
arduino mini type rig between the USB connection and the eggfinder receiver
during construction and convert to APRS in hardware. Of course it would make
the receiver the APRS station. I've got too many other projects in the air to
add that one to the list, though.
