Hi Tim Thanks for your input as it has been helpful. I have it settup very close to yours and it is working better but not quite as it should.
Still Tx when it wants to but a lot more constant, set time slot at 16min but it Tx at 30min roughly. I'll look at making an other cable, (using a cable from an other unit it also had troubles). What changes did you do to the code? Thanks Cris VK2BOZ --- In [email protected], "Tim Cunningham" <tim_cunning...@...> wrote: > > There seem to be a few issues with the T2-135.
