Thought some of you might be interested in this. The plumes mentioned below are at about 60,000 ft from an Alaskan volcano that erupted last month. It would...
Anyone have any more info on the GPS 18/18X? Those of you that have the 18X, what's the part number on the unit? On gpscity.com there is a note under "Garmin...
That note is correct: 010-00321-06 and 010-00321-56 are both a GPS18 LVC, but the -56 is RoHS compliant. The GPS18x LVC is part number 010-00321-36. The...
EOSS uses a GPS 15H as the GPS source for the K0SCC B-LAN. The unit has flown 6 times and worked flawlessly. We take advantage of the units sentence...
Cool. When the update is available, if somene else has posted it, I will post it to our yahoo group site. Thanks for the update and to Garmin. Our high...
Ralph, Are you asking about the 60kft altitude limit with regard to the GPS18LVC or the GPS18xLVC? I ask because in some other Garmin series, such as the ...
Thanks Barry -- Regarding SiRF, it appears -I and -II OEM chip-sets were hard-coded to limit operation to below 60kft but -III chip-set code allows receiver...

Hi All,, Been doing a lot of research, and after learning about the long wave filter and what it takes to remove, (not fun) plus how it really messes up the...
A better way to go might be to capture RAW images and do the color correction post-flight. You can do this to some extent with JPEG files and PaintShopPro,...
agreed and they thought that RAW was a better way too but i'm not too sure how to set up the camera in that mode, possible? and what is the extention of the...
I'm very interested in doing my first ballooning project. After researching equipment and software, I have come up with a list of payload equipment:...
i recebntly guttred ine if these and my numbers arent anything like these, this is what i have On the antenna it has A16 822 and a barcode sticker says 726...
Strongly recommend that you fly a 100% redundant DF beacon in case APRS fails. Rule #1 in ballooning is Don't give Murphy an Even Break. 73 de Mike W5VSI CTO...
You may want a KPC-3 for data reception. The KPC-3 will pick up packets other units like the TinyTrak4 and Tracker2 will miss. When optimized, the TT4/T2...
I agree with Mike. We flew a single transmitter on our last balloon launch and Mr. Murphy hit us with a direct attack; having the only transmitter fail...
Thanks for the suggestions. For ground tracking: I'm going with the KPC- 3+ (Thanks Mark) and APRSPoint software? Is this the best APRS tracking software? I'm...
We run 2 beacons for the balloon, one on the standard US APRS freq 144.39 and the secondary on 144.70, although any other freq would work too. I tried to pick...
Others in the group have had radio frequency interference problems with multiple transmitters in a single pod. We fly each transmitter in a separate pod...
A DF beacon running 30s on and 30s QRT is easier to hear and track when the payload's on the ground or far enough out that the packets are too weak to decode -...
BASE 29 was successfully completed today. Flight summary: Launch at 14:57 UTC Burst at 98 kft Landing was 55 miles at 98 degrees from launch site on DePauw...
Well, it looks like we can have GPSL in Lawrence next year. I'm still trying to work out the details, but it does look favorable. Is it a good time to discuss...

If it's not Amateur Radio the only details to work out are getting on the HAM bands. If it's not HAM it shouldn't be allowed in the ARHAB records. 73 Harry...
Blimey, mate! I attended 2nd grade at Milton Road School in Cambridge in 1950 while my dad was stationed at Mildenhall, and where I learned long division in...
It's great to hear that GPSL will be in Lawrence next summer. The central location makes it easier for those of us that attend and don't live in the Great...
