I would definitely suggest 70cm for a chase freq. TXing 2-3 MHz up at 146 or 147 MHz will desense data reception of 144.3x. - Mark ... yesterday with ... ...

I'll play around with my capsule's radio before heading out to GPSL. I'll lock the frequency to 144.34. I can also play around with my TT3 and time slot it. ...

Hi Zack, I think 10-sec slots would be OK, but it'll only accomodate 6 beacons. It might not be bad to go to 2-minute beacon intervals if we end up with over 6...

I don't think the KPC-3+ is that picky. If you want a beacon every minute at 20 seconds past the minute, you just specify BLT n EVERY 00:01:00 START 00:00:20 ...

One other note to keep in mind. Are you time slotting based on GPS or UTC time? UTC is corrected for leap seconds. As of June 2, 2004, it is 13 seconds...
