Brian...would you mind describing your rover-tracking strategy to the full-list?  What software do you use, how do you set it up to highlight Rovers, etc?

APRS (and it's simplex version called HamIM) is a very powerful and underutilized resource for tracking Rovers.  We could all benefit, if you'd be willing to share.

Kind regards,
Ev, W2EV
