My KAMSKI digi reports voltage, and 2 temperature readings. They are part of the beacon field. The external sensor currently reads the cabinet temperature (repeater and digi), but I expect I will be making that outside temperature soon.
I can control these remotely with CMD VOLT CMD TEMP CMD EXTT I do not use the 1wirewx command. It works but unless you have a weather station, its not really useful. --- In [email protected], "ve7mlx" <ve7...@...> wrote: > > Hi Group: > > What are all of the options for external temperature reading with a T2? > I am going to have my Tracker2 at an AC powered mountain top microwave site > as a digipeater.
