Hi all. I'm new to the group. I was interested to see if anyone had a PICPAC they'd like to sell. I do high power rocketry and I need a field portable device...
Ask Byon at Byonics whether or not the Tiny Trak 4 will do what the PicPac used to do. No doubt about it. Just plug an audio cable from the rig to the PicPac...
I am working on a PICPAC replacement using the TinyTrak4. I plan to announce it at Dayton, but I will announce it first on the TT4 list in a few days. But...
RPC Electronics will be at the 2008 Dayton Hamvention this weekend along with Argent Data Systems in booths 503-505. We will have RTraks APRS All-In-One...
I mived a couple years ago and had built up a PICPAK before the movers arrived. I just finally go the time to get back to it, and it has a problem. On powerup,...
... movers ... screen, ... That is all mine does. Until I feed it some audio from my RX with packets on it. It sounds like it's working just fine. You may have...
There is a packet CD here: <http://tinyurl.com/62a5v4> http://tinyurl.com/62a5v4 It can be downloaded, but I don't recall where I downloaded it from. Some ...
The firmware that comes with the standard PICPAC kit os VERY basic and limited in function. Your best bet is to download the PICTRAK firmware found in the...
... IIRC, the PicPac comes with only some base level software and diagnostics loaded, you need to load new firmware to get it to decode packets. It's...
I thought I had it, but ended up messing up the code in the PIC. I tried to reload it with a copy of the code I read from the PIC before I did anything, but...
Jeff, as long as you have the bootloader.hex installed, you should be able to do a code load, but that must be done through a terminal programe like...
This is a little late in the discussion, but I have been working on a HamHUD II+/OpenTracker combo device that will be very much like a PICPAC, only it runs...
You are correct in the first paragraph. But the bootloader.hex should be fine to load into an erased chip to restore the bootloader. I wonder if the fuses were...
I am not sure what is wrong at this point. I erased the PIC again, and re-burned it using your settings. I get the power LED on and a display with all black...
You might look at the hex file for the boot loader. Near the end there might be a special record for the fuse settings. Also, if you alter the fuse setting...
Hi, How would this compare to the TinyTrak 4 with the display option? Some of us simply want to use the unit to do APRS tracking of amateur rockets. Barring ...
... The IC-92AD doesn't do APRS, so it's not going to be much use. It uses D*Star protocol to do its position reporting, which is not even close to APRS in...
I am running PicTrak ver 1.01 on my pic-pak, and it is decoding inbound messages without fail. However, I cannot get it to transmit. I am using it with an...
I am selling my hardly ever used PicPac. $50 + shipping and it's yours. Postal money orders only please. Reply directly to me at kg4pid at yahoo dot com. Max...
PICPAC for sale. $80. Works great, great shape. Assembled and tested. Mounted in case with internal 9V battery. Front panel switches. R1 changed to 22k as per...
... Was this used for rocketry? I am not the seller but I use one for rocketry. Can take the $GPWPL words from the output and input it into a Garmin GPS...
Yes, I used this unit for rocket tracking. It has PicTrak loaded. I connected directly to my Garmin etrex Legend via serial cable (with null modem adapter)....
You using a Beeline 70cm GPS radio or a 2 meter Byonics transmitter? I suspect a 70cm one as a 6 element Yagi for 2m would be mighty big!  I find the...
A few years ago I purchased a picpac along with a TT3 with intended use for tracking rockets. I then bought a VX 150 radio and a microtrak 300. Â I have...
