You can do that with the V0.72 Alpha firmware by using specific settings to disable unwanted features: Along with your normal tracker settings (Call, path#, SBEN related, PPeriod, ...) use these to turn off features ALIAS1 %???????????????????? (same fro 2 and 3) to disable DIGI function AMODE GPS??????????????? Assuming you are using the GPS on the first serial port ABAUD 9600???????????????? Match to your GPS BMODE TEXT?????????????? DEAFTEXT turns off this port, although I would leave it as TEXT BBAUD 19200?????????????? This makes it possible to monitor on a computer if you have a splitter CDLEVEL 20???????????????? This is still important as a bad setting will prevent you from TXing These may not be all the settings, but pretty close. Although you don't need to worry about the receive setting (RXAMP) using MONITOR, you do want to ensure your TXAMP are set for good decoding by other stations.

Jim, N8JE ? ? Was the V0.72 (1284) from the Menu? The latest firmware does come in both versions (644 and 1284). So if it was just an educated guess, the best way to determine which chip is to use TeraTerm. ? At the ? send a b and it will return with TinyTrack4 V1.2b (644) or? TinyTrack4 V1.2c (1284). ? This works with any firmware I have used. I think you get it with Esc 3 times - the firmware and chip on the newer firmware versions is displayed.

Subject: Re: [TinyTrak] Setting up TT4 for tracker ? If by "newer TT4" you mean 1284 chip, the answer would be "not as is". Most likely Byon could recompile it - if he has the code.? But the TT4 already has all that code in the Alpha firmware. All you would need to do is disable the portions of the code that you do not want to use (DIGI, display, ...). ? ?It would still have receive capability, but the information would go no where. Just wondering - is there some reason you don't want to use the Alpha Version?
