Wanted to bring this up again as as far as I know it's still not solved. I tried to recreate the problem on the bench tonight with no luck. I had the stratologger adjacent to it, the 100mw 70cm BPS and 70cm Beeline beacon all turned on. The unit seems to perform nominally, arming and transmitting APRS when turned on the with antenna down, and not doing so when sideways. I can't think of anything else that would cause different behavior in the rocket vs sitting on my table (it's still mounted in the electronics bay, I just don't have the glass coupler tube wrapped around it). Antenna orientations, as far as I know, are correct (most recent flight was programmed for antenna down and flown antenna down-previous attempt before that was opposite).
Also, unrelatedly, is there a way to tell if there's continuity on the A-D channels with the altimeter in a closed bay without a TeleDongle?
