This is a technical discussion list. Something like Twitter might
be a better forum for one-line comments and musings, or maybe Tumblr
for ongoing notes about projects and ideas.<br>
<br>
The APRSSIG is an excellent technical resource and there are many
people here with detailed knowledge of all aspects of the field who
are more than willing to answer questions, share their expertise,
and discuss technical issues, best practices, and operating
standards.<br>
<br>
It's not a substitute for Google. I think everyone here, even
Steve, would be fine with your participation on the list as long as
you keep in mind some basic community expectations.<br>
<br>
If you've got a question, try checking Google and the obvious
available references first. If you can't find an answer (and
assuming the question is generally relevant to the subject matter of
the list), you can ask here and explain clearly what it is you're
trying to do, what you need to know, and where you looked.<br>
<br>
If you've got something to share about a project or an idea (again
assuming it's on topic), make sure you explain the background of
what you're doing, how you're doing it, what advantage you see in
doing it that way, and give details on your theories and
observations.<br>
<br>
This isn't English class and no one's holding you to strict
standards of grammar and punctuation, but you'll get a much better
response if you can express yourself in complete sentences, form
coherent paragraphs from those sentences, and express complete
thoughts in a way that others can easily follow.<br>

Assuming you meant you _achieve_ better
accuracy, sort of. The difference is really
precision, not accuracy - these two are
related but not synonymous. Use Google as I
taught you to learn the difference. <br

<br class="">
You get better precision from a NMEA string
than the plaintext and MicE APRS formats. If
the accuracy of your input is high enough the
accuracy at the other end will also improve
with greater precision in your transmission.
And if your input is NMEA, then sending out
the data in that format will have precision
that equals or exceeds the accuracy, but it is
still very verbose. Generally Base91 gives the
best choice for both bandwidth and precision.

Of course, this had nothing to do with Cory's
question.<br class="">
