So far it seems one can 'drop in' a 8 channel module and it will as a minimum been seen as a 6 channel.
Once I can come up with a reliable and safe way to ship, antistatic and minimal crushability, and a less time consuming way of getting the module out of the old surveying hand held I'll make some of them available to the list members for say $5 each + shipping to cover the cost of taking the handheld apart, packaging (looking around $1-2). I'll also figure out the shipping for a complete handheld minus the battery pack which I don't have any for those that like to take things apart. About the only thing is a magnetic mount antenna, the LCD panel was custom although is just the usual Hitachi chip set. Maybe a couple months from now, got a lot of other stuff going. There is also a long shot some more of the choke rings antennas maybe found, if so, I'll make them available for the same price I did before. -pete On Mon, Feb 8, 2016 at 4:11 AM, Bob Camp <kb...@n1k.org> wrote: > Hi > > Part of the way through the development of the modules, they started > adding various commands.
