<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV> Its good to see someone cares, the biggest problem is that too many are set and forget and don't know where to go and look at all these very helpful tools.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If every Tracker supplier put the following sites in their supplied files as a Note this would make many aware of the tools and it would cut back on the repetitive questions and I am sure it will help them look at their problems.</DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>No doubt there are more if there are please post them .</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The experience I have had is mainly with TT 1 . 2 , 3 and open code trackers.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Just about all of these suffer from RFI and at times I have seen the configs trashed and also the main hex code, the common thing here</DIV>
<DIV>with the units I have seen is the plastic housing, nearly all the units have a puck type GPS. similar to the TT supplied units</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I run 2 Fox Delta Trackers housed in a metal box supplied with the kit and I haven't suffered any RFI , there are no ferrites on any leads its an ad hoc setup under the seat bouncing around . Same puck GPS, Icom 22s 10 watts on a Colinear antenna.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The other big problem is those that leave their trackers running 24/7 in vehicles or wired to the ignition and at start up there is a voltage sag and a spike again I have seen this change the behavior of trackers</DIV>

<DIV>How come this has happened was it an over site ? </DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Opentracker and Tracker2 devices support Base-91 Compressed</DIV>
<DIV>packets instead of Mic-E.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>Is this base 91 compatiable with Mic-e ? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Many out there would be wondering </DIV></DIV>
