Hi, I dusted off and fired up my picpac it has pic-trak v 00.52 loaded. I down loaded from the files area v 1.01 and tried to load it on the picpac and I can...
Greetings, After reading some of the other posts I'm wondering if I've got a dead bootloader. I'm trying to help a friend set up an Igate for weather. He...
I guess I resolved my problem with the bootloader. Although I couldn't find it anywhere, setting hyperterm to Xon/Xoff for flow control seemed to do the...
Hi, I'm using a picpac to decode APRS packets using the Decode1 code from the Files section. It's doing a reasonably good job of grabbing packets, but it...
I'm sure there is. How often does it happen. Perhaps you can try capturing audio with a sound card at the same time. When it fails, you will be able to...
Thanks for a quick response. It varies in frequency, but it's happening every 10 minutes or less. This morning it was happening every couple of minutes. It...
You could also just capture audio for 20 minutes, and then feed it to the PICPAC and see if you have a bad packet. No splitter needed in that case. Byon...
Hi Byon, Good idea on recording the audio. I fed the radio in to my PC and recorded over an hour worth of traffic. I then used Audacity to condense it down to...
Thanks for uploading that. I'll try to look at it soon and report my findings. The only resources on the PICPAC are the docs and sample code. There are lots...
Morgan, I downloaded your MP3 file, and fed it into a PICPAC running decode1 from http://www.byonics.com/picpac/picpac.zip and it decode the file without...
I built my new PICPAC this weekend and I think everything is working on the PICPAC, but I can't connect to my PC. When I power-up the PICPAC, it plays the...
Hi Jeff, I had to set hyperterm to xon/xoff for flow control in order to get a connection and to be able to download via the bootloader. with xon/xoff I see...
Byon, thanks for giving it a try. I'll check the date of the decode1.hex file. I think it was 5-10-03, but I will double check. Mine definitely goes nuts at...
Thanks, Morgan. Am I correct that I should be using a null modem cable? jeff ... get a ... you ... echo a ... working ... PICPAC, ... displays a ... fine on...
Ok, Got a problem here and I hope someone can help. I just finished building the PicPac and everything checks out find. After some messing with cables I was...
Tony, can you get back into bootload mode by holding down the two black buttons and then applying power? You should be able to null cable it to the computer ...
Tony, This is normal. You've installed Pic-Trak on your device, but it has no config data (your callsign, beacon rate, etc.). You simply need to power up...
Thanks Guys, Things seem clearer in the light of day. I ran the Pic-Trak configuration utility and first I tried to load the configuration from the PicPac but...
I could use some help... I'm testing my PicPac (running Pic-Trak v1.01) while receiving a signal from a GPS transmitter (its a BeeLine GPS module from ...
... A better place to look is at the transmitter. Looking at the BigRedBee website, it is hard to see if there is some type of potentiometer on the PCB. I see...
James, Thanks for the very logical feedback. I was able to get everything working. Greg, from BigRedBee, suggested that I lower the volume way down (around 1...

I just got my bigredbee gps transmitter, have a yaesu receiver and will be using its audio output to the picpac. 1. What files do I need to be able to decode...

Kevin covered the software part. get pictrack off the group web site. I wish we had source available, but honestly it works just fine. you have the same...
What are you guys using for battery to power the picpac. It says anything from7-35V. Does a regular 9 volt battery provide enough working time or should I...
Sounds like you've got all your questions answered. I'll just add that I also use the bigredbee GPS with a Yaesu FT2R and it works great! Like Cliff, I...
Per my previous post, I've had absolutely no problems with a single 9V alkaline battery. Of course, I'm not leaving it on all day. I turn it on a few minutes...
