First of all, big thanks to Sam and all the other pioneers who went before and made it easy for me to follow
I bought a MT8000 FA and have hooked it to a 296 in the car for some ground testing. All has been going well, with 1 minor oddity.
You can see my tracks on aprs.fi... track on KB1DON
For the first few days, I noticed on aprs.fi that the comment field was displaying "TinyTrak3". This is the green line in the aprs.fi popup box that is directly under the speed. I think the field is labelled "STATUS" in the configuration software.
You can see the field working on the westmost track points (display the past 7 days).
Something must have changed recently - because now I get garbage characters in that field - like "+4}" I think this might have happened when I turned on smart beaconing. You can see it when you restrict the track to the past day.
Does anyone have any info on this field?
