Mike-
I can't answer your question, but have you tried an actual tracking
test? Maybe when you get to within 500ft of the rocket, the TH-D72
automatically changes resolution.
If you don't get an answer here before Monday, drop me an email and
I'll ask the Stratofox trackers up in the Bay Area. They mostly use
the Kenwood APRS radios.
On a different note, a balloon was launched from NorCal last weekend
and was tracked via APRS all the way to the Mediterranean Sea before
it deflated north of Algeria. Pretty good for amateurs. The track
is still on www.aprs.fi Type in K6RPT-11.

I have the Kenwood TH-D72 radio and the BeeLine 70cm GPS
transmitter. The Kenwood radio display screen shows the distance
from the radio to the transmitter as well as a compass with an arrow
that points the direction of the transmitter.
The problem is that the distance scale is in 1/10 of a mile (500
feet) increments. Does anyone know if the distance scale can be
changed to feet of meters or anything more precise than 1/10 of a mile?
