Hi all, The T-238 the status display shows the battery and bus voltages. Looking at the APRS string, I don't see where this data is transmitted. Is there a way to enable the transmission of the battery voltage on APRS? For a remote solar operated station, this would be very useful information to help know the status of the batteries. It doesn't need to be transmitted every packet but once every 3rd packet (15 minutes) would be helpful. I see some data at the end of the APRS string after the "1w"- would this be the telemetry data I'm looking for in a binary format?

I found out that the display needs the MAX232 plugged in or it won't work. Next I will be trying a switching regulator in place of the 7805 to see if that reduces it any further. I'll let you know how this comes out! Mark - KØYG
