I see by the latest Beacon list that the 70cm brother of the above beacon is gps locked. Is the 2m one also gps locked? The list indicates it is not but I am hoping it's a typo
It's the only one I can hear, faintly unfortunately but it is always there.

Hi Nev,
The 2m beacon at VK3RGL is definitely GPS locked. It is very unlikely that the 70cm beacon is GPS locked. Last reported by VK5DK about 5kHz low. <edit> It looks like they simply mixed up the labeling in the latest beacon listing.

Woo hoo!
That's good news Lou.
The latest beacon list from the WIA shows it as not gps locked.
Now I can use it to check my ft817.

I often check the RGL 70cm beacon, its a lot lower than 432.530, but it seems to be reasonably stable when watching it, where ever it may be.
