Subject: [aprssig] Using a TNC as a CW Beacon Only


     I am wanting to set up a beacon that would transmit (in Morse Code) my
ID every two to ten minutes on a two meter simplex frequency.  I want to do
this so as to be able to do some coverage tests (Have the radio/ID running
at a proposed APRS location and drive around the area gathering signal
strength reports in the different locations.  It would not be on the APRS
frequency, but on a less popular simplex frequency (probably somewhere near
147.5 megahertz where I wouldn't likely be bothering anyone).

     Could a TNC-2 be programmed to send a Morse Code ID (my callsign) every
two to ten minutes regardless of whether or not it receives packet data?  Or
would it only identify when it is processing packets?

     Regards,



                                           Fred, WB4AEJ
