My first Byonics product was also a PicPac.? Decoded pretty well for the time, and had a nice display.? I used the display on another project, but the reassembled it for a demonstration I did.? I came across a KE4NVY website with some old Byonics info:? It includes stuff on TinyTrk I/II/III and PicPac as well as other APRS and packet stuff. Robert Giuliano

never heard of a TT1, but I started with a PicPac which was just
a way to get? APRS text in to or out of a modem...? radio etc was
up to you.? It was coal gas powered. On 6/12/20 3:49 PM, Allen Lord wrote:
Hank,
I am, er..slightly older...than Byon, but Byon has been
writing code from the womb. So this TT1 thing...did it run on
steam, require FORTRAN, and need IBM punch cards to set it up?
How did the electricity get through the airwaves before Hertz
invented it? Byon and I used to go to a lot of Ham shows, and
people would constantly bring us these ancient things to
configure for them. It seems nothing can actually kill a TT3,
and if you can't find an adult capable of programming one,?
you can always find a 12 year old kid who knows what "USB
drivers" and "Com Ports" are, and don't even know that
parallel ports were once a thing.?
