Successful test of gps tracker!


We successfully programmed the new Micro-Trak (called 'buzz') and hooked it to the garmin 18lvc gps. It sent out its current location via aprs and was picked up both by my mobile radio and an aprs igate! This is an important test as buzz will be the primary means of tracking the balloon.

Still need to fine tune the duration and power of the output and test battery life.
