Micro-Trak RTG (Ready To Go)
The Micro-Trak RTG (Ready To Go) FA is a complete 10-watt APRS tracker,
including a frequency agile 2-meter transmitter,
a TinyTrak3 controller chip,
a Byonics GPS2 GPS receiver,
and a magnet mount SMA antenna.
The MT-RTG FA was designed for easy vehicle installation.
Since it comes pre-configured with your callsign, it is literally "Ready To Go".
Simply connect the included antenna and GPS receiver to the top of your car,
plug into the cigarette lighter jack, and you are on the air!
Even though it does ship pre-configured, users can easily update all settings by downloading the configuration program below,
and using a F-F null modem cable to connect to either a computer serial port or
a USB-to-serial adapter.
The MT-RTG FA is frequency agile to any frequency in the 2-meter band (144 MHz - 148 MHz),
includes built in telemetry support to transmit supply voltage and temperature,
and has a bootloader to support future firmware updates.
For more information on the MT-RTG,
see Sam Buchanan's review at VansAirForce forum,
or AE4XO's video of the MT-RTG at You Tube.
Ordering:
NOTE: The Micro-Trak RTG comes pre-configured and ready to go, so after you place the order,
please use the order notes or a follow up email to send us your callsign & optional SSID,
