[aprssig] Need Path Mentoring

Hi Robbie,

  All the packets I posted, from findu, are from
Wednesday evening and I don't expect to make more for
a few more days.  I'll have to make some more and look
again.  Low power, add an attenuator and drive around
!!  Sounds time consuming...hell, I'm retired aren't I
??

   If I can get some correlation to the PMON display
and the audible squwak (I assume the display appears
"immediately" after the squwak) , perhaps I can at
least get a relative distance/strength - also use the
handheald... and learn what it sounds like.  I did
hear one packet which sounded very under deviated that
day.  

  Though I do carry a beam & attenuator in the trunk
(;-)
  My Doppler isn't completed and I have one I was
fixing, but it still doesn't work properly - I think
an antenna problem.  
   I don't think the FM Dopplers handle a Beacon well,
but haven't actually made observations. 
  I won't go into details why it works, but there's a
fella around here who modified his Doppler to work on
FM or AM.  Perhaps I can contact him...

Thanks for the confirmation.  Maybe I'll get it yet,
Steve
