I realize I'm an armchair general. That is, I'm not making any equipment, but I am sounding off, about what I want.
I want to be able to CHANGE CHANNELS and POWER levels at the BASE, without shutting down the base. This divides the GPS file into 2. This might be do-able with our current radio.
Also, I want to be able to do it via the 1 watt radio INSTALLED in the LS. Drive toward base, and get on a hill, point the GPS at base, (or add an external Yagi) And add a BUTTON to the Radio coms program, that is called "Change base Radio Config" Click that, and it gives you all the current settings. Change what you like. Power levels, Channels etc. Then, hit the SEND button. A packet is sent to base, that changes it all. Then, in 30" the base does it. The rover ALSO changes channels. It is now on the next channel, and power level. It will revert back, if you do not press STAY WITH NEW SETTINGS, in one minute. Stay with new settings, sends a second packet, telling the base that you are happy. (Happy Happy Happy) I like that show!
And, on the base radio fan... Well, somebody dropped the ball a little on that one! The FAN blows DOWN! Ya know, heat rises! IT should be blowing up, (or else we would have to invert it) then the cords come out at the wrong ends!
I know, These may not be TOP priority, but, you know, someday things will get updated, and when they do.... here are good ideas!
Thanks! I'm not bellyaching.
It is a RARE thing these days, to get listened to, by a equipment mfr!
I found an ear!
So, please don't think less of me. I'm contributing as best I can, to the Best GPS manufacturer out there!
While on the subject, will a smaller radio, (say a 4 watt one) function as a REPEATER in 5 hz?
Will it degrade the signal? Add latency?
We have got to know!
