I'm thinking about getting into a new aspect of things. Not specifically ham radio but adapted to and from it. The airport a few miles away launches weather balloons twice a day which carries a radiosonde that broadcasts on around 403 MHz. I'm putting together some receiver packages for the house and the mobile to receive and decode these things. They provide weather as well as position data. They show up on aprs.fi.
I'm planning on using the Auto-Rx package for the purpose. What I'd like is for it to display as an item on my YAAC display. In the house, on the big screen I can watch them and, if I see something viable, hop in the truck and track it in the mobile and maybe find the device when it lands.
So, this leads to a few questions.
Is anyone familiar with Auto-RX and interfacing it to YAAC?
Is it possible to navigate to an APRS item shown in YAAC, or do I just watch the screen and head for it?
Any other suggestions or tips for this project?
Thanks.
