Connect the RS-232 serial output directly to your computer or Byonics TinyTrak3
without any need for a level converter.
Can be
connected to the X2 serial interface on the OpenTracker APRS tracker to send
position reports
Used with the TNC-X and the X-Track board Daughter Board to create an APRS
Tracker to transmit MIC-E encoded packets containing your position and beacon
information.
Microcontroller
Interfaced to a microcontroller such as the Parallax Basic Stamp series
or Bascom-AVR with the Atmel AVR chips, for various microcontroller & AVL projects.
Other
Used with home made avionics computers for onboard flight recording and
tracking systems for Model Rockets, Airplanes, Balloons and outdoor robotic systems.
