Well, I'm not far behind you. I won one at the Dayton Packetbash the
year it first came out. Excited, I built it in my motorhome that evening,
hastily made an interface cable for an Icom HT, and heard it send a single
packet. I then put it back in the box, thinking I'd find an inexpensive
xtal rig to mate with it for a tracker. It's still sitting in that box...
Last year at Dayton, I found an affordable Motorola Encore engine and
active antenna, and this spring thanks to this list, I picked up a pair of
Motorola HT600's. So maybe before another year goes by, I'll have a
working tracker! But the garage is a mess, and I've got to clear enough
space to build a workbench first...
If I remember correctly, I programmed it that first evening with a DOS
program running under DOSEMU on a Linux-based laptop. I don't run windows
for any reason...
