To: ham-space@ucsd.edu Is there an FAQ on GPS Rcvrs/Boards? Can you buy a board for your laptop and write your own programs to display your position? Or is a simple handheld unit of equal cost? Is the antenna mounted remotely to the card? How far can it be? Are both passive and active antennas available? etc. etc. Guess I'm really looking for a comparison of features and who manufactures 'em. -- Bob Engberg phone: 907-552-7172 e-mail: engberg@ctis.af.mil packet: K0MVL@KL7AA snail: SAIC 911 W. 8th Ave., Suite 401 Anchorage, AK 99501 ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Mar 1994 09:14:59 GMT From: cns!rickvg@uunet.uu.net Subject: Satellite progs on World To: ham-space@ucsd.edu In article <762554227snz@isis.demon.co.uk>, Ian Smith wrote: >Ah, but which version of STSPLUS is it ?
