[VHFcontesting] Use of APRS in the Rover

[Dan Evans]

So how bad do you think the APRS signal is going to be for the 2m SSB 
station?

If I put a 50 watt FM transmission into a vertical separated maybe 10 
feet from my horizontal yagi;  At best I can see complete desince of the 
SSB receiver, at worst maybe front end damage...

As close in frequency as the two radios will be [ie:  144.200 vs. 
144.390] I don't think even a notch filter would be much help.  How long 
do you think the transmission will be?  A 2 second burst every 10 
minutes?  More?  Longer?

Opinions anyone?  Is anyone currently doing this?   How can we make it work?

I likely will not be ready for January, but maybe by June...  There are 
no nearby multi-ops in my neck of the woods now days, but I would still 
like to give it a try.

Wish me luck,
