Vaughn,
Here is a link to an old post with the cable pinout you SHOULD have:?/g/TinyTrak/topic/tt4_j2_splitter_gps_question/78760380?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate/sticky,,,20,2,20,78760380,previd%3D1614438855761972447,nextid%3D1606527042393707400&previd=1614438855761972447&nextid=1606527042393707400? ?I hope it works....
It is possible to set up the non-GPS port to echo the GPS in your configuration, but its more likely that your cable is wrong. Check the pinouts, the Byonics TT4 splitter cable is like no other.
Also, That is a most excellent callsign you have there sir!

I have a TinyTrak4 with display and keyboard running 0.72, GPS5, and a home-brew splitter cable another ham gave me years ago. I'm trying (for the first time) to use the splitter cable and I'm having mixed results and I'm hoping someone can give me some tips. *The TT4 and GPS5 work GREAT. Love 'em. A+! See my tracks from yesterday as W0ULF-12 *If I unplug the GPS5 and plug my PC into the TT4, I can see all the decoded APRS packets. That's exactly what I want: the ability to connect the laptop up and use an APRS program like APRSIS32 or Pinpoint and send and receive packets! *When I insert the home-brew splitter cable between the TT4 and my PC, and plug the GPS5 into the third leg of the splitter cable, all I get on the PC is the stream of GPS packets from the GPS5. I stop seeing the serial data from the TT4. I WANT to get the traffic from both the TT4 and the GPS5 on my PC AND have the ability to send/receive APRS data from the PC and GPS over the radio. I'm assuming that either my cable isn't wired right (I haven't found a wiring diagram to check it against, nor have I found one for sale) or I have my ABAUD/AMODE BBAUD/BMODE settings wrong. I would love the following, if possible: *Suggested config settings for the TT4 to make this work *Wiring diagram for the splitter cable so I can see if that was made correctly or not *Anything else you think might be helpful or humourous. ? Thanks again for your time, and have a great day! -Vaughn Phillips W0ULF Lebanon, Oregon |
