[VHFcontesting] Couple of Rover questions

[Dan Evans]

Hello group!

After much too long of an absence, I plan to hit the road again in June and activate a few grids for the contest :-)

I'm trying to configure a "new" laptop for logging.  I have RoverLog up and running well.  In the past I have pre-recorded several different CQ messages (one for each different grid I plan to activate).  I like to have everything ready before the contest, and when I get to the grid I load the correct message and let it rip :-)   Anyway, this time I can't seem to find where RoverLog stores the different audio files for the voice keyer.   Does anyone else do it this way?  Where are the audio files for the voice keyer stored?


Question number two:

I have a Garmin eTrex handheld GPS I use to identify my grid square.  It works fine, but I'm planning to buy one of the mapping GPS's for the vehicle soon and wonder if there are any that will display grid squares now?   I remember several years ago this topic came up on the list and the general consensus was the mapping GPS's did not do maidenhead.  Has that changed in the last few years?


Looking forward to doing the Rover thing again.  I haven't planned the route yet, but will likely put on 4 to 6 grids in the Indiana / Kentucky area.
