Thanks for the info.  Any trouble with the mic staying hot when it's 
transmitting, or do you unplug the mic?

It's the jumper cable that I need.  Is the one that comes with the EJ-41U a 
separate cable, or is one end soldered to the board?  In any case, that 
still doesn't address the issue for everyone who doesn't have a board 
already.

Yep, does that already.  The prototype board as it stands now has all of the 
existing OpenTracker code ported to a much larger processor.  All of the 
tracking stuff works, but some of the telemetry isn't done yet.  Some of it 
won't be there anyway for the DR-135T version.  Who really needs to know the 
temperature inside the radio enclosure?
