Hi Bill,
I have three of the Beeline GPS trackers on 70cm. I'm not interested in
getting packets placed on -IS as I just want to get my rocket back and the rest
of the world likely doesn't care on .390. High rate, once per 5 seconds packet
would likely tick off a large number of people if a rocket ended up in an
inaccessible place and if on 144.390 and close toa Digi, would mess up the
local network till the battery dies. That's not being courteous. (As I aim to
be.)The high altitude balloon guys don't transmit that frequently and use
reasonable path statements so not to clog up the national system. Oh boy,
there is heck to pay if one has their settings too liberal. I remember some
years agosome folks on the balloon groups had some testy posts for a flier who
got it wrong!

Isn't that the Big Red Bee? http://www.bigredbee.com/blgps_2mhp.htm
It works great with a 8 second transmit time and WIDE1-1 fill in path. :(
