Hi Dave, 
If you run Ui-View at home you can set Logs capture and save your track that
way

Ray/Michael, 
 
I felt sure that most APRS guides suggest low power, so a quick look at 
http://www.aprs.net.au/newuser guide.htm, and I find "10 watts to 20 watts 
is more than enough." 
 
With my current setup 5W will have to do; although there is an FM 900 here, 
that would need some re-programming and I never quite got the packet 
connections right. I think the next step is a "better" antenna. 
 
Also, looking at where the good and bad signals were, it's clear that 
terrain and vegetation (trees) make a big difference. e.g. heading out of 
Raymond Terrace, the river flats were great, but after that the foliage may 
have been a big contributor in killing my signal, not forgetting that it was

also VERY WET. I suspect that the couple of signals from Clarencetown were 
because we went around the block, and even stopped for a few minutes (to 
find that the Pub didn't have a bistro open :-( ). 
 
I'll attach a print screen for those interested. 
 
ON that topic.. I've used APRS.IF, is there a way to 'keep' my raw packets 
and fed them into a mapping program myself, say Ozi?
