Not what I would call a good example, anyone using those settings may as
well
turn smart beaconing off. Think about it!! 180 deg is the same as doing a
"U" turn, 30 deg is more like it & the difference between slow speed, 3MPH
& fast 7MPH is good for a laugh, slow at 3 is OK but 60MPH would be more
like it for the fast rate, & 1800 secs " half an hour " is also over the
top 180 "3 mins " is more like it.
Yes you do need to be carefull when useing smart beaconing especially when
giving that kind of advice to a new-commer ! After all the objective is to
create corner pegging, as described in the original article from hamhud
if I am not mistaken.
