<br>been tested and is released at the HamHUD website (<a href="http://www.hamhud.net">www.hamhud.net</a>).<br><br>Get the zipfile here, which contains everything you need to upgrade<br>(including the Windows Loader program and release notes):
<br><br><a href="http://www.hamhud.net/hh2/HH2%2028000.zip">http://www.hamhud.net/hh2/HH2%2028000.zip</a><br><br>Release Notes here seperately:<br><a href="http://www.hamhud.net/hh2/HamHUD%20II%20Firmware%20v2.8.000%20Release%20Notes.pdf">
http://www.hamhud.net/hh2/HamHUD%20II%20Firmware%20v2.8.000%20Release%20Notes.pdf</a><br><br>Major features of this upgrade:<br><br>* KISS TNC SUPPORT. In fact, this version ONLY supports KISS TNCs (see<br>release notes, we do plan to bring back TAPR/Kantronics mode). Low-cost
<br>KISS TNCs such as the TNC-X (<a href="http://www.tnc-x.com">www.tnc-x.com</a>), TinyTrak 4<br>(<a href="http://www.byonics.com">www.byonics.com</a>), and OpenTracker+ (<a href="http://www.argentdata.com/catalog/">http://www.argentdata.com/catalog/
</a>)<br>have been tested to work well with this firmware version. Your KPC-3+<br>works, too, in KISS mode!<br><br>* FRAM-BASED TX/RX BUFFERING. No more missed packets, and no need for<br>handshaking (software or hardware).
<br><br>* GPS WAYPOINT OUTPUT. See APRS stations plotted on your GPS! Outputs<br>the $GPWPL sentence for stations, objects, even HamHUD waypoints.<br>Selectable range circle, name truncation, and baud rate.<br><br>* "RUNS RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX!" HamHUD kits with previous firmware
<br>versions had to be connected to a PC just to prepare the firmware for<br>operation. No longer. Build a HamHUD II kit, plug in a KISS TNC and<br>GPS, enter your callsign and icon using the WhizWheel interface, and you
<br>are operating APRS mobile! The default settings work fine in most APRS<br>networks, but are fully customizable from the front panel.<br><br>* WB4APR PROPORTIONAL PATHS WITH SMARTBEACONING. Selectable direct path<br>
for high-rate tracking. Reduces digipeater QRM in dense networks, while<br>preserving the general shape of the track through "corner-pegging".<br><br>Read the release notes to learn about the new Graphical DigiMeter,
<br>Day/Night/Stop brightness modes, display of packet/object comments, and<br>lots more!<br><br>Don't have a HamHUD yet? Order one today:<br><a href="http://www.hamhud.net/webstore.html">http://www.hamhud.net/webstore.html
