<br>
Any one on the list using APRS in San Diego? It too me several days of
beaconing to get into the system. Only one packet and report reached FindU and
none since. I am at N32 47.79, W 117 13.67. Mission Bay at Campland.<br>
<br>
I have tried wide1-1, wide2-2, and now trying relay,wide1-1,wide2-2. Hearing
very few packets on the frequency. Running 5 watts and a KenwoodTH-D7A.<br>
<br>
Also tried running higher power with an amp. However, I wonder if the delay on
keying up drops bits? Is there a way to give a delay to the kenwood before the
first packet is sent?<br>
