Couldn't get two videos in the previous post. Here's a quick video of the Yaesu FT-8800R that will likely be the primary radio for the tracking and recovery effort since it is soon to be mounted in the car (I have access to an Icom 910 that has been used for previous balloon flights so, I can safely say I have three redundancy levels on the groundstation side of things). The radio is connected to a Pico-Packet TNC and to a generic serial-usb converter to my linux machine.
When you have two scientists for parents, be careful when you say 'I wonder if I could...'.
