Testing...

I double checked the programming of the RDF beacon and charged its battery. Its all ready to go.

I also made sure xastir was working with my radio, could receive aprs signals and display on the laptop. Also made sure it would display the cars position on the map. Xastir is supposed to be able to read the current position from the link to the radio which has a gps plugged into it, however I could not get that working (just like last time). So I have to have an additional gps plugged directly into the computer. Its no big deal just a slight annoyance as there are two things plugged in as opposed to one.
