Yes. You will probably want it down to prevent a few pops and clicks on the speaker when it receives. > Is the compressed message format the same as (or similar) to MIC-E. ? No. They are different formats. Both are a lot shorter than regular beacons. With MIC-E the destination is part of the payload. With Base-91 the destination (as I should have nown but was recently pointed out to me!) is human readble. e.g. Mic-E VE7ILI-8>T9QPSP,WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1 <UI Len=9>:`23 l!`>/ Base-91 VE7KWK-9>APOTC1,VE7SFU-10*,WIDE2*,WIDE2-2 <UI Len=40>: /191556z/5Zg2/Ik$v,!G/A=000283 14.8V 19C > If there are any future upgrades to the software, can they be loaded or am > I stuck with the version the board came with. ?

I believe that people have added LCD displays to the OT2m, but I haven't heard of it on the T2-135 unless you count the HamHUD. A Nuvi 350 works well with it. 73 es cul - Keith VE7GDH -- "I may be lost, but I know exactly where I am!"
