Will the GPS operate at high altitudes >60,000 ft (balloon)? Is the microvolt regulator (retrofit) appropriate for use with this unit when connected to an...
I'm just getting engaged with APRS. I've used findu and aprs.fi to look at Winlink position reports for my sailboat. For local sailing on the Chesapeake I'm...
Dave, Can't say much about your requirements, don't know enough about them to have anything meaningful to say. I can say this about one or two of your proposed...
We don't have to spend fortunes to get software for different applications. They are available in plenty as freeware. Have a look at a list of all essential...

Agree on the need for power. Even in an aeronautical application, I see far better results with an 8 watt micro tracker tha a 300mW. In the mobile, in ...
Bill, I beg sorry to differ with you on the power in aeronautical aspects. We run the 300mw microtak from Byonics into a simple coathanger groundplane on...
... Balloon/aeronautical operation is over an essentially zero-loss true line-of-sight path. A milliwatt-level voice signal would also work under these...
... As Joe subtly pointed out, my application is quite literally at sea level. <grin> I do appreciate the initial responses. I have enough junk on the back of...
Bill knows of what he speaks. Using a tracker in an aircraft is a different scenario than a balloon at tens of thousands of feet above ground with a good...
FYI, There is a very limited supply of the North American Micro-Trak 300 and no North American Micro-Trak 8000's available. They are both obsolete and being...
Funny, Sam, I have the same problem in the -A model that you do in the -6 ;-) Must have something to do with bombing around in the RV at 2000 AGL and most of...
Dave, Of the two, I think I'd lean toward the '8000FA'. A little 'more' power than just 300mW is never wasted, especially at sea level. Only other firm...
... Thanks for the heads-up Allen. I suspected something along those lines from the Byonics web site. ... Right. <grin> Sorry. I live on the boat and try to...
Well, Byon and I finally finished the first run of Micro-Trak AIO tracking transmitters and they are available on the Byonics website. Let me know what you...
Approximately how long will the batteries last with the default settings (2 min beacon rate at high power)? Will the GPS unit function at high altitudes (over...
I think the number Byon calculated is four days using MIC-e and 2 minute check-ins, based on alkaline batteries. The on-board GPS will not support high...
Greetings to all of the experts out there! I received my brand new Micro-Trak 300 on Tuesday just in time to hook it to my son's GPS and lash it to his rear...
I strongly suggest that you use the MIC-E option. Shorter packets are much more likely to be processed unmolested by higher power signals. Allen VHS In a...
Wow! I ordered my Microtrak AIO on Thursday, Byon Shipped it on Friday (after programming it to my specification), I recieved it on Saturday, added batteries...

I have a MT-8000 that has been used in the field now for several months. Recently, the unit has been failing to initilalize properly. Upon attaching the...
Jim, It sounds like a PIC failure. Is it transmitting at all? Thes best thing to do is to send it back to me for testing: VHS, 1370 Trancas Street, Suite 201,...
