Re: MT-1000 - modifying for reception
|
Using the RX function would not be impossible, but it would not be very practical either. It would take convincing Byon to write substantial new code to set the parameters for the receiver. It might be possible to just llift p the pin on the PIC that controls the PD ( Power down), which in the MT-1000, is used to put the transceiver to sleep between transmissions. I think, and this is only an unverified thought, that this would give you un-squelched audio but only on 144.390 MHz There is no provision in the configuration software to change the RX frequency. Don't hold me to this!?
FYI, we do have a few more MTT4BT-Mini's, which we built originally for a government contract. These are pretty much a stripped down version of our MTT4BT transceivers. You might want to take a look at the product and the it's manuals to see if that would work out in your application a little more elegantly. ()?

Hello,
I have an MT-1000 which I'm planning to use on a high altitude balloon. I was wondering if it was possible to configure it to keep the transceiver on at all times. That way, I can tap the audio from the unit and run it through a demodulator, so that I can use APRS packets to control the balloon from the ground.
I would use a second transceiver for reception only, but I'm worried about blowing its frontend with it so close to the MT-1000.
Thanks!
