Hi I am looking to get a better understanding of how robust my TM-groundstation link will be in some scenarios. Its only with the TM in flight mode that i am concerned with...
The only way you can tell if you have lost contact with the TM in flight is to observe that nothing is updating on the altosui screen? If the signal is lost for a while (e.g. forgot to man the the yagi) and then comes back (e.g. remembered to point the yagi) the screen will then start updating again? If you accidentally pull out the usb cable to the teledongle while the TM is in flight can you reconnect to the teledongle and resume receiving packets from the TM? If you close down and restart the altosui software while the TM is in flight can you reconnect to the teledongle and resume receiving packets from the TM? If you lose signal from the TM (e.g. it lands over a hill) and you go looking for it with the altosui/teledongle will you start getting packet updates when the signal is re-acquired? Does the TM send its RDF tone in all states? Any info much appreciated! Geoff
