Looks like about the same idea. My board's just got an MC68HC908KX8 MCU
(looks like you're using a basic stamp), a voltage regulator (might go to a
DC-DC converter to use NiMH AA's), and a 2N3904 as an RS-232 receiver. It's
also got a couple of 1 Mbit Atmel EEPROMs on it, since it was built as a
logger. My design wasn't so much for long trips as for high resolution 3D
logging to track paraglider flights.

Some time back, I brought up the fact that I was planning to use an Alinco
DJ-S11T (http://www.alinco.com/Products/DJ-S11T.shtml) for a remote weather
station. I understand the standard way to use one is to hold the monitor
button down with a rubber band to bypass the power save RX mode. I'd been
planning to just rip the whole thing out of its case and solder the monitor
button permanently, but another thought occured to me.
Has anyone tried setting up a handheld like this with an intermittent RX
mode in such a way that the monitor mode is bypassed just before it attempts
to transmit? Seems to me that a weather station is only going to care about
receiving when it's checking to see if the channel is clear. Same goes for
a tracker. Not worth the trouble if you've got plenty of power, but for a
solar/battery powered station it seems like it'd cut down on RX power quite
a bit.

I have a Icom IC-04AT and can't seem to get it to work on repeaters as the
shift won't change when set to 5Mhz?
A little off topic but it is my temp. voice radio as wellas I figure many of
you either have or had a IC-02AT.
Please reply directly.
