Hi, I sent it a CMD DUMP over the air but it did not reply. CMD VERSION returned Tracker2 Build 54740.
How should I do the DUMP? Connect the PC serial to the OT2 GPS port? Port A is in Garmin mode, port B is Auto (for NMEA). I guess the PC should be connected to B @4800 bauds, right? BTW I now get more weird WX packets, with longitude being garbled: 2009-11-23 00:27:39 PST: KI6TSF-9>APOT21,WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1,qAR,W6YX-5:!3723.80N/รกรณ_163/65535g63929t-3041P14776h95b31069T2WX [Invalid uncompressed location] Could this be RF leaking into the OT2 (or GPS)? I put small ferrites bought from you on the end near the GPS, and on the RF coax near the transmitter. Thanks, Bernard --- In [email protected], Scott Miller <sc...@...> wrote: > > Yikes.
