[CRAPRS] Digipeater

[Ron Tonneson]

Don't know anything about your Heliax.  I am using Times LMR-400 co-ax on the two K0HAM digipeaters.  I have quite a bit 
of it left from a 500 foot roll, maybe 200-250 feet.  I could donate the necessary length with connectors for use on an 
APRS digipeater.  For a long run it is better co-ax then RG-213.  LMR-400 is 1.5 dB per 100 feet at 150MHz, RG-213 is 
2.8 dB per 100 feet at 150 MHz.

I would like to try plot a range circle for your site.  To do so I need the location (LAT/LONG), HAAT (Height Above 
Average Terrain), transmitter power and antenna gain minus co-ax loss.  If you do not have the antenna HAAT I can find 
it given the location and antenna height above ground.
