Doug,
? That looks like a TinyTrak3 clone.? It is not a Byonics product.
Byon

I will suggest the Groups.IO again.? There is a files section, WIKI, and someone could possible think of a way to use DataBases. I realize these are limited with a free account, but you could always link to another (free) site if you need more space.

I've still got a TT1 in service as a bit of a test aid, mainly for setting radio deviations from something handy.
I've also still got the various TinyTrak 1.4 hex, config, and manual pdf files, and also DK7IN's varient 1.6 which added smartbeaconing, but removed the test tone setting parts, as PIC code space was very limited on the PIC16F84.
Also have the TinyTrak2 config program, if someone has one and wants to reconfigure it, but can't fine their download of the config program.
Allen, might it be an idea to have them added to a Byonics support page for obsolete hardware, as I couldn't find them on the website?

Is this a TT1 or TT2? This came from a Japanese web page and my Japanese is really rusty

Allen,
Having been directed to that old, archived Byonics website by the last post reminds me of something I've wanted to comment upon.
I don't believe there are any files available (text and executable) on the Byonics website about any TT products before TT3.? There probably are those files, perhaps appearing in a disorganized and less than optimal way, stored here on this very
Groups.io.? I just took a look for them and it is not a snap, by any means, to find them.? Lingering adverse effects from the demise of Yahoogroups I guess.
If I'm correct in saying they're not at Byonics, I think they should be.? At least some note about where to find them could be there, but why not actually have them there arranged in a cohesive manner just as they used to be?? They could be tucked
away in a less prominent place on the site and clearly identified as obsolete products or however you want to label them.

I have an original TinyTrak, in Kit form, still in its envelope. Never got around to soldering it up. I come across it now and then. I am not even sure if the PIC is programmed.
I think that is why I got the assembled versions of the TT3Plus and the TT4. I am not a very active user. They spend most of the time between usage. :-)

I have used many TT-1? & TT-2 , many of which are still in
service.
Yell out if you can’t find the config files.

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.

Hank,
As far as I know, there were no Byonics products prior to the TT3. Do you mean the old SOTT files out there on the Interweb? Byon handles the webpage, and sees all these posts sonner or later, so he may have a better idea what you are after. I am a "newcomer" with Byonics, working with Byon for about the last 15 years. When Byonics was in Las Vegas, and dinosaurs?roamed the earth, would be better questions for Byon.
