I'm downsizing my equipment, I have listed on ebay a Tinytrac3 plus with all the cables included to hook up to a Yaesu VX 5, which is part of the package including the power supply and an FTDI cable for programming with CHIRP,
It also includes the Byonics GPS-2, the Yaesu cable is the HT1C, everything works.

Re: Turning off telemetry channels with MTT4B?
So the TSAT ( TSTAT is MTT4B -=Last Chance Digi=-) is the message that is in Mic-E format.? Must be due to MICETMV is TRUE. It always send the telemetry data right after the Mic-E packet. But the reason you are transmitting telemetry is this setting: ???? TPERIOD is 1800TPERIOD [ seconds ]
?
Sets the time in seconds between transmissions of a telemetry report. A setting of 0 will disable telemetry reports. The analog voltages sent in order are JP5, JP4, JP3, JP2, JP1. If TELVOLT and/or TELTEMP is true, those will be sent first, followed by JP5, and the rest, up to a total of 5

Re: Turning off telemetry channels with MTT4B?
I almost forgot, TSTAT is another way of appending telemetry to position reports, again with ^{input} (like ^T and ^V).
You must remove the ^T and/or ^V portion of the TSTAT.

Re: Turning off telemetry channels with MTT4B?
If you are referring to BText messages that include temperature and voltage, you must remove the ^T and/or ^V portion of the BTEXT.
The NODISP comment in the manual has nothing to do with Telemetry, OTHER THAN the display uses the digital input lines that are reported.
? ?If NODISP is TRUE and the digital states will depend on the display usage of those pins.? You cannot connect anything external to that header.
Regular Telemetry reports are sent at TPERIOD intervals.

Turning off telemetry channels with MTT4B?
I am using a MTT4B as a fill-in digi, NOLEN. It sends the telemetry channels, even though they are not in use, and I haven't found the appropriate setting to turn them off. A minor use of bandwidth, but I would like to clean this up. The NODISP turns the lines on and off for the display, but does not have any effect on the transmission.

Re: TT4BT or splitter cable
There is another way to add BT to a TT4 with a socketed MAX232 chip (kit version for sure). The catch is that you must switch to TTL for both serial devices (GPS and computer interface).
Buy a cheap BT HC-05 (or SC-HC-08 for BT 4.0).? Most come with 3.3V regulator for 5V into the board, but double check.
Program the BT module as needed before installation, as there is no longer a 'program' jumper. ?? You will need to remove the BT module to make any changes to the settings
?? I use a cheap CP2102 module. I used a separate, machined DIP socket and installed the components into that for easy change between RS232 and BT/TTL.
Remove the MAX232 and jumper the secondary (Rx2/Tx2), pins 7<->10 and 8<->9. Port B is now TTL ONLY!
Then jumper the 4 pins of the BT module to the socket 5V, Gnd, TLL 1 out, and TLL 1 in - check your MAX232 pinout for exact pins. ?? Or solder to the new socket spots.
You probably will need a new case, as there doesn't seem to be room inside for the module.
The nice feature is the larger case will likely have room for a u-Blox TTL GPS module.?? ?? You can connect this to the the TTL level Rx2/Tx2 and then everything is in the same case

Update on the MT-AIO progress
ALLCON,
We had a number of PCB production issues with the prototype MT-AIO V4.1 tracker.? This is improved version of our old MT-AIO tracker ( The one in the yellow Pelican case) A bunch of parts for the old AIO either became obsolete, enormously expensive, or only unpredictably available. The ubiquitous Pelican 1030 case we used for years was also dropped, and Pelican is migrating ( See what I did there?) to clear boxes with colored inserts. These are basically little solar-powered ovens. After an interim redesign, to use the Flambeau "Black Ribbon" case, Flambeau dropped these too. Something about a flu that was going around they said.
After finding a new and suitable case ( the S3, T-2000 cases) we redesigned the AIO around this case.? These cases are smaller, stronger and don't chip like the Pelican Cases, They are O-Ring gasketed, and I expect that the new AIO will be submersible ( Well, I guess any thing can be submerged, but the new AIO should survive the experience. It may float, depending on the battery weight, but no promises. They will fit neatly in an IFAK case.?
The new unit is intended to be powered by 4 X 18650, unprotected batteries. You can use protected batteries too, but you will need to turn the power down to about ten Watts or the batteries will give out too quickly. With this power source, the unit will start out with about 20 Watts output, and drop to about 17 Watts after an hour of run-time, where i levels off. With several of the 18650 batteries I have tried, the prototype seems to run for about 50 hours with two minute transmission intervals. Batteries vary dramatically, and while it may be a shocking and slanderous assertion, I believe that many of the Distributors, Dealers, and Manufacturers may not be telling the complete truth about their products specifications! Shocking. At any rate the standard antenna we used with the AIO, a Nagoya quarter wave whip, seems to handle 20 Watt transmissions. I think it would be better served to use one the AAbree "tape measure" style antennas? ( Yes, they work!) to get the most out of the higher power transmitter, and to keep it away from your head.?
I was reluctant to make the unit dependent on LiPo batteries. Primarily because I thought that LiPo's would freeze to death in High Altitude Balloons. One of our clients disabused me of that notion, they seem to work fine in older AIO's, and clock their power up to about 12 Watts output. We will probably produce all of the new units with high-altitude ( Above 60,000 feet) GPS receivers.?
I will post photos as soon as I have something that is not just a mess of parts splattered on a workbench!

Re: TT4BT or splitter cable
Greg,
My bad, I should have?taken more time to understand?your question. I manufacture and provide tech-support for the Micro-Trak line of products carried by Byonics, so my mind was somewhere else. We would need to get an update from Byon as to whether the TT4 Bluetooth module is still an active product. It did, BTW, "split" the two serial ports on the DB-9 connector of the TT4 into two separate?routes. PORTA? I believe?was tied to the BT module so you can have a wireless computer connection. PORTB was assigned?to the DB-9 connector on the adapter, and wired as a "null modem" with a 5 Volt power pin , so that it was plug and play compatible with?a serial, NMEA, 5 Volt GPS receiver.?

Re: TT4BT or splitter cable
To explain the splitter a different wat from Allen, it does not split a computer port because the computer only has one set of serial pins per connector.
It does split the A/B port of the TT4 line, which has 2 sets of Tx/Rx pins in one DE9.
So if you are referring to the "computer's serial port", it won't work.? If you are referring to a TT4BT serial connection, remember the Bluetooth uses one set of Rx/Tx pins, so the jumpers determine what connects where on the second port.

You state ? ?> ... I can see beacons on a handheld but it does not appear to be making it anywhere? ? ?> else. Here is settings. Is your comment in reference to the DIGI attempts, or beacons or both?
You do not say what your setup is: ? ?What radio are you using?? Pin2 is uncommon.? Most should be Inverse_pin2. ? ?How does it receive and decode packets?
Why do you say it is not making it anywhere else? ? ?Does the HT pick up the DIGI retransmission - if so, the issue is not the TT4. ? ?Or is it not retransmitting at all?
In order to successfully DIGI, you must have these conditions: 1. Reception and settings for good decode of RF? ? ? ?If you connect a computer to the TT4, do you get god decodes? 2. A matching, unused path element (next element or any unused element if preemptive is set true) ? ? Does the decoded message have an unused path element? 3. Proper DIGI setting (path elemets to match), is there a local station transmitting with a WIDE1 path? ? ? Does the decoded packet match the path for your station to DIGI?
4. TX properly functioning - yes, you say your HT can see beacons- one example. ? ? ?Should not be the problem
After that, the RF determines what happens next.

Subject: Re: [TinyTrak] Handheld APRS Receive
Sorry for the delay in response! This problem came up last minute and the launch was today. Even though we couldn't receive the packets in the field, we were still able to track it. It was in range of other i-gates, so we just used
. Between the tracking, weather data collection, and even live video, there were a lot of new ideas put into this balloon. However, it went nearly flawlessly. Next time we might get the mobile APRS receiving set up on a laptop.
Thank you?all for responding and helping us.
