2 == TeleGPS System Operation
6 TeleGPS's native telemetry system doesn't use a
7 'normal packet radio' mode like APRS because it's not
8 very efficient. The GFSK modulation we use is FSK
9 with the base-band pulses passed through a Gaussian
10 filter before they go into the modulator to limit the
11 transmitted bandwidth. When combined with forward
12 error correction and interleaving, this allows us to
13 have a very robust 19.2 kilobit data link with only
14 10-40 milliwatts of transmit power, a whip antenna in
15 the rocket, and a hand-held Yagi on the ground. We've
16 had flights to above 21k feet AGL with great
17 reception, and calculations suggest we should be good
18 to well over 40k feet AGL with a 5-element yagi on the
19 ground with our 10mW units and over 100k feet AGL with

26 === Configurable Parameters
28 Configuring TeleGPS is very simple; the few configurable
29 parameters can all be set using the TeleGPS application over
30 USB. Check out <<_configure_device>>.
