Doug -

You're correct.  The big holdup WAS the GPS mapping system.

By the way...I don't know if anyone else noticed but for two incidents today
on Billygoat Trail along the Potomac the talk group patched into old Channel
1 was 7G.  I assume this was so that the Eagle could communicate with
Angler's Command, which was on 7G.  Channel 1 has now resumed simulcasting
7B.
