For the near future when WAAS gets certified for one of its intended uses (precision aircraft approaches into airports with no navigational beacons/glideslope/ect) The FAA will actually have a GPS forcast available. one could see if there WILL BE sufficient gps sats visible at a particular location at a particular time to make a precision approach on GPS. I believe this forcast will take in account things like solar storms that might cause signal degredation. This certification of WAAS is still a few years away, I dont know if you can actually get the forcasts yet.... [This message was edited by Gliderguy on March 11, 2002 at 08:31 PM.]

A very compact stubby screwdriver set. there were cordless screwdriver bits and an extension in the handle. the whole thing is about the size of a golf ball. I left a $5 scrimshaw locking folding knife in its place. I chose that particular cache to be my first because it was placed on my birthday.

I think he is saying should Geocachers use a standard channel when geocaching if using one of those radio types. Might be a nice way to occasionally meet with new cachers if we all standardized on the same channel for each radio type. I personally would vote against using FRS channel one, because there are lots of people who never ever take their radios off ch 1. On the other hand, some cheap radios only get channel 1. ditto for CB ch 19. It has a lot of other uses, I think we would want some channel that has less traffic.

I have bought 4 from them now and I recieve them 2 days after I order them. Excellent company an I am not affiliated with them in any way -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ranger Rick, Is that $385 price based on buying more than one unit at a time, or will Black Wolf sell single units at the same price? Sorry, couldnt get the regular quote button to work right, it kept kicking me back to the main forums page....
