Hi, all..........

I have been told that the limiting factor in position precision is the APRS system transmission standard-- that transmissions are limited to 1/1000th of a degree or approximately +/- 60 feet. Is this true? If so, why?

If not, what is the limiting element in the final display of tracker position on Xastir?

For those of you using Xastir for Search & Rescue, do you run on the APRS frequency or a different (quiet) frequency? What are the arguments for each school of thought? We are going to be running some field tests in the near future with a variety of equipment setups.... does anyone have suggestions of things we should test? We have a list, but new ideas and comments would be appreciated from those that have already taken the stumbles<grin>.

Many thanx.............. jt
