You using a Beeline 70cm GPS radio or a 2 meter Byonics transmitter?  I suspect a 70cm one as a 6 element Yagi for 2m would be mighty big!   I find the PicPac useful in that one just needs a audio cable to plug into it The TT4 one has to do everything through the DB9 socket.  Of course the TT4 has more features for Ham radio use.                                                            Kurt Savegnago --- On Sat, 12/6/08, nordykethecat <ndrocket@lobo. net> wrote: From: nordykethecat <ndrocket@lobo. net> Subject: [picpac] Re: PICPAC for sale To: picpac@yahoogroups. com Date: Saturday, December 6, 2008, 4:17 PM Yes, I used this unit for rocket tracking. It has PicTrak loaded. I connected directly to my Garmin etrex Legend via serial cable (with null modem adapter). Works great--you can watch the position of the rocket waypoint change during flight. After landing, just set up a GOTO the last known position and walk or drive to the rocket. My receiver is a Yaesu VX-2R. Antenna is a homebuilt 6-element Yagi. --Nathan KE5KFU ndrocket@lobo. net --- In picpac@yahoogroups. com, Mike Whorley <mikewhorley15@ ...> wrote: > > > Was this used for rocketry? >   >   > > --- On Sat, 12/6/08, nordykethecat <ndrocket@.. .> wrote: > > From: nordykethecat <ndrocket@.. .> > Subject: [picpac] PICPAC for sale > To: picpac@yahoogroups. com > Date: Saturday, December 6, 2008, 12:26 PM > > > > > > > PICPAC for sale. $80.
