Just curious.? Are there dog trackers on the 2 meter band or did you cobble something together?
The maximal update rate I was able to experiment with was to hard program and test transmit a position once every 3 seconds.? I did the testing off the national frequency and it was the maximum rate the receiver could decode the position packet.? There was no digipeating or messaging.? Just wanted to see if it could be done to track a remote device.? I never tried instituting it in the field though.
I would never do high rate reporting on the national frequency.? That is so discourteous.? For high powered rocket tracking, once every 5 seconds is enough and I mainly use 70cm trackers.? If I flew a 2 meter one, again I'd be off 144.390 and use another frequency for my own personal monitoring.
High altitude balloon filers do use 144.390 but there is no need there to use a high transmit rate and it's suggested to use a Wide2-1 path.? That's more than enough to get the position painted on the internet and help with payload recovery if the balloon gets out of range.

Right now i have two radios running in to YAAC, 1 on 144.390 national frequency, the other on a different frequency for my dog trackers. I have the dog trackers transmitting a a high rate. Is it possible to "store and forward" say 30 seconds of packets from 2 radio and send in burst?
