Unless you went to DGPS, but now you have one receiver for the DGPS signal, one transceiver for APRS incoming and outgoing, one GPS receiver, plus any voice links you might have. How many antennas can one person wear? (Steve, did you ever finish the paper on using conductive thread to sew antennas into clothing, last I heard you were still writing it) I do suppose it is possible, though I haven't seen APRS so this yet, to have the DGPS signal come in on the APRS frequency, and the APRS program do the correction. Most implementations I've seen pipe the DGPS signal directly to the GPS though, as the GPS knows it's own internals better and can do a better job of correcting. -- Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" toWear-Hard Mailing List Archive (searchable): http://wearables.ml.org
