I thought this was the symbol for an Igate. If not what should an Igate
use?

The calculator is great but it is not handeling 'r' rates higher than
10 correctly.
An 'r' rate of 12/hr should give a C if I am reading Bob's description
correctly.

I believe an Igate symbol should be \&I a hollow black diamond with and
"I" overlay.

Hello, Robert.
We are trying to get someone who lives in Richwood, WV that is an Amateur
Radio Operator, with packet and APRS capability and a pilot to see if would
be willing to try and locate your package. His name is Mike Tyler, WA8YWO.
He had or has a repeater site on Point Mtn. near to where the package went
down. I have forward him as much information as possible. I also used
ARCview to print out and send him an approximate location. It appears to
be about 2 to 3 miles off Route 15 and approximately 12 air miles
North/Northeast of Webster Springs.
We use to have an APRS digi on Point Mtn, but the sysop decided to relocate
it after no new APRS users appeared on the screen. I thought that was a
big mistake.
I will let you know whether he has time to try and retrieve your package.
I sent him an email with all your information.

I'm amazed you're able to get GPS 10 ft down. I always figured it'd cut out
in the first foot or so. Never been crazy enough to take my eTrex scuba
diving to find out, though. =]
How small a camera are you looking for? What range? I picked up some color
NTSC CMOS cameras
(http://www.swann.com.au/products/security/spycam/spycam.htm) at Fry's a
while back for about $30 each - I've got one mounted to my paintball mask,
but the ATV transmitter itself is pretty large and rides in a backpack along
with the batteries and a character generator. There are smaller ATV
transmitters available, though. See
http://www.hamtv.com/pdf.files/PCATVcat5.pdf.
For short range stuff, I use the Plantraco PTV16-C
(http://www.plantraco.com/product_ptv16.html). I've got both the mini tank
and blimp for it and they work pretty well, but I doubt it'd have the power
you need.
I'm not aware of any APRS submarine symbol, but the Opentrac symbol set
allocates the 5.1.1 series to subsurface vehicles. The only subordinate
symbols defined so far are 5.1.1.1 for an ROV an 5.1.1.2 for a manned
submersible. Xastir does a pretty good job translating the symbol set, but
it's still limited (so far) by the existing APRS symbols for display.
Got any pictures of the sub? This thing sounds pretty cool.

SLOW SCAN TV on 440 Mhz?? That's usually Fast Scan territory.

I-Gates should use the blue diamond with the "I" overlay.

With the resent move from the TAPR Mic-e to the Kenwood d700 I do not
currently use my Mic-e and would like to put it to use. I know it can
not be used on HF b/c it is a 1200bd only TNC. I assume it can be put
on my 6m Alinco FM only radio, but not much action there and doesn't
work with PropNet design on 50.620.
So what else would it be good for? I assume a Mic-e capable repeater on
UHF or VHF. So two thoughts:
1) Will it work on the VHF band on a ICOM 706-MKIIG or does that have
the MIC problem like the IC-2800H?
2) What about putting it inline on the d700? Since I leave my d700 on
UHF on the second band or scanning. Could I use the MIC-e to inject an
additional posit on the second band of the d700 to use with a MIC-e
capable UHF/VHF repeater?
Just some thoughts to use the equipment.

How about ATV? Lots of options for ATV that are really small.

Morning all,
After all the email I have gotten ATV would work as well, I have a 20 in sub
to fool around with. The suggestions are great and I think you for them all.
I should mention that the antennas for the sub are 19 in long for better
signal when diving and tracking is not a problem with a handheld beam
mounted on a camera mount pointed at the body of water I am operating in. I
should have mentioned this before. GPS does work 10ft down in CLEAR water,
not murky water. I have lost track of the sub in some lakes due to the
clarity of the water and until it surfaced I had no idea where it was. the
position report rate is set to 1 minute intervals but because the signal
does not go very far that does not create a problem with network congestion.
Thanks to all that responded to my mail!
Dakota

Sounds fun, but I'm curious - don't you ever get any funny looks when you're
standing at the edge of a murky lake holding the controller and staring at
nothing? =]

Sorry I forgot to add that I am looking to have the pics on 440 Mhz as I
have a D7 and a VC-H1 that I was hoping to view the image on as it is easy
to carry and doesn't add to the equipment I already have with me (Track on
..390/ picture on 440). I don't have the info on ATV being able to run on the
VC-H1, does anyone know if it can be done?
