It reads just like the internal sensor. If you have TEMP and EXTTEMP both on, you'll see one after the other. > What temp sensors work on the 1-wire port and what temp sensors work on > the telemetry port? The DS18S20 or DS18B20 will work on the 1-wire port, and on the telemetry ports you can use any analog sensor (like the LM335Z) that'll provide a usable signal between 0 and 5 volts. It's up to you to make sense of the reading. > Can you have the temperature beacon at the beginning of the comment line > and still start your beacon comment with PHG for Kenwood radios to read > your power height and gain info? Any testing I have done inputs the temp None of the sequence is adjustable short of tweaking the source code. > Can 1 wire temp readings be sent out as a status text seperate from your > beacon comment? They get sent like the internal temperature sensor readings. > On the software side, how do you activate the sensor this way? with the > EXTTEMP command or by turning on the 1-WIREWX command? Just EXTTEMP. You can use DEVLIST to make sure it sees the sensor. You want to wire the sensor's DQ pin to the 1-wire bus, and GND to ground. That's it. Scott
