It'll probably be at least a few months before I've got anything ready for
wider testing. I got a board made for the modem section over the weekend,
and I'll be hooking it up to the CPU, writing the interface code, and
putting it through its paces this week. After that I'll be testing each
module independently, and once I'm satisfied that I've got the major
hardware issues worked out I'll start etching integrated boards. After that
it's mostly a matter of programming. And there's going to be a lot of
that - the USB code especially is new to me, and will probably take awhile
to get right. The file system will take some serious work, too, but it'll
still be able to do some useful stuff without those modules finished.
I'm planning on supporting both APRS and OpenTRAC.
Also, unlike the TinyTrak and OpenTracker, this thing will have true RS-232
ports, so it'll be able to talk to stuff like the Oregon Scientific weather
stations without modifications.

Subject: Dual Band On The Glass Antennas

Has any one ever used the Larsen KG2/70CXFME antenna? The spec sheet claims
it will go from 136-174 and 402-512 MHZ out of the box. Seems like the only
one that works with wide band. I was hoping not to make my car have that
Porcupine look and still have one antenna that I could transfer from radio
to radio. (ham and commercial freq's.)
Thanks

Hi Ron
I have yet to hear of these "glass" antennas working real well... If you
live under the repeaters and digipeaters, then they make for cosmetically
nice looking installations. I would use trunk lip mounts or mag mounts
before I would try another glass job..
Your milage may vary, just my opinion.. :-)

I have one on the truck for backup. I can get about twenty mi. to the local
repeater depending on the power setting and my physical location.
