== TeleGPS System Operation
=== GFSK Telemetry
TeleGPS's native telemetry system doesn't use a
'normal packet radio' mode like APRS because it's not
very efficient. The GFSK modulation we use is FSK
with the base-band pulses passed through a Gaussian
filter before they go into the modulator to limit the
transmitted bandwidth. When combined with forward
error correction and interleaving, this allows us to
have a very robust 19.2 kilobit data link with only
10-40 milliwatts of transmit power, a whip antenna in
the rocket, and a hand-held Yagi on the ground. We've
had flights to above 21k feet AGL with great
reception, and calculations suggest we should be good
to well over 40k feet AGL with a 5-element yagi on the
ground with our 10mW units and over 100k feet AGL with
the 40mW devices.

=== Configurable Parameters
Configuring TeleGPS is very
simple; the few configurable parameters can all be set
using the TeleGPS application over USB. Read
the Configure TeleGPS section in the TeleGPS Software chapter
