I've got a packet radio decoder and VHF receiver, what I need is....
Name Of Satellite

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Subject: Any GPS FAQ?
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.

Yep, it is updated practically monthly. I have 9405 right now. A nice
program. Especially when the shuttle is up and running.

I'll take one. Now you only have 99 more to get rid of!
