It does.  However sometimes packets get garbled, GPS lock can be lost, etc.

 

Knowing how to perform RDF in such situations can be the difference between 
recovering your rocket and not.

Wait, doesn't the telemetrum do GPS over radio? Why would you need RDF? Just 
get the dongle and attach to laptop (or even android device I believe now?)

The Baofung (or however it's spelled) radios can be bought cheap, but based on 
what I've seen of them, they'll make RDF a bit more challenging. I'd suggest 
investing in a used radio of better quality if you plan to RDF with it.

Subject: [altusmetrum] RDF on the cheap

 

I'd like to be able to RDF my Telemetrum with a low end HT and antenna. Can any 
of you make a recommendation for a low end radio (<$50)? Also will the Arrow 
440-3 work well enough at Black Rock or should I pick up the 440-5? Is there 
anything else I would need?

 

Thanks,

 

 

Chris
