Stewart,
I’d love to hear about the solution you come up with. I’ve been
thinking about designing something myself. I was planning to use the output
from a TNC rather than depending on getting the data from the TeleBT or
TeleDongle. I was planning to mount the antenna to the roof of my Jeep when at
the field so I figured I’d just take the TNC output from the Kenwood TM-D710G I
have mounted in the Jeep.
