Transmit and Receive now working

We met at Dale's house last week to assemble and program our RF transmitter (the Micro-Trak 300). We programed the transmitter with our callsign and told it how often to transmit the GPS coordinates coming from the GPS Receiver. Programming the transmitter was done through a windows application from byonics.















We had to do a little bit of soldering...lucky for us Erin was there to give us a hand :) I suppose at this point she is destined to be an engineer.




















Here you can see how the power source, antenna, GPS receiver, and the RF transmitter all connect. We are able to receive the signal with our scanner, feed the audio output from the scanner into our laptop and have the laptop plot the location of the device on a map!
