Re: Antenna

[Al Grant]

Thanks David,

I have been talking to Gary. I dont really need anything particularly
accurate. A few meters would be fine, since the position of the Rpi
will be used in some RF direction finding from a drone which will be
very inaccurate anyway.

In other parts of the application I just want to get a position under
some lite tree cover, so a decent antenna is probably more relevant in
that regard.

Since it will be connected to a Rpi headless - it would be good to
have an external LED to indicate it has a fix. True 10Hz (not
interpolated) could be nice to have for the drone side of things.

As an aside I brought a CMP14 digital compass, testing that out too.

Thanks

Al
