Smart Beacon woes...

[rts...@comcast.net]

So I have a UDRC2 in my truck now complete with GPS.
I have enabled the smart beacon and on my way to work today I could see it transmitting a lot but checking APRS.IS only three packets were received by anyone this morning.

I am kind of at a loss as to why my packets do not seem to be getting anywhere.

Also looking at my raw packets http://aprs.fi/?c=raw&call=KF7VOP-9 I see a lot of duplicate position packets, not sure if that is a problem or not...

On closer inspection of my packets compared to other tracks I see I am just expecting too much for too little.

Unless you have it transmitting at like one minute intervals on city streets and faster on the freeway you are just not going the get that good of resolution.
