Interesting Departure Procedu MRB Trixy Two

Well, I pulled up the Garmin 500 sim and put 199 in for TRIXY in OBS mode.
This puts the 199 radial just about right through the BIITO BCM on the LOC
BC RWY 8. That fix is 3.9 miles west of the airport, and that runway is
7000 ft long. So, it would be about 5 miles to go 1300' from a field
elevation of 557, which is required by the 300' per NM in the ODP.

It's 2.6 miles from the departure end of 26 to the radial assuming no VOR
system errors (not a good assumption unless you're using GPS). And, the 300
feet per mile is the minimum climb gradient. If my airplane does 500 feet per
mile I will be at 1,800 prior to the radial.
