hi all
id like to put together a ground station that can track my plane but the ground station will be moving on a boat. the boat may not necessarily be under way but may be just swinging on anchor. the ability to do both would be the targeted outcome.
as I understand some GS get their data from the onboard GPS and the GS gets its location from when you turn it on (home position). if some of you guys using this setup say turn you GS say 90 deg will the antenna move to the correct direction of your plane? what happens if you rock the GS will it stay pointed at aircraft and compensate accordingly?
I would suggest the range would be greater than 5km so small movements may stay within the beam width of the antenna but if there is anyone up to speed on the technical side of such a GS and what I should look at to solve a potential tracking problem im all ears.
thankyou
