This is a full Tracker3 <br />(including digipeating capability) in a USB dongle form factor with an <br />on-board GPS receiver.<br /><br />The only external connections are the USB connector and the 3.5mm TRRS <br />plug for the radio interface, so you can't use it for Garmin FMI <br />operation, but it makes a very compact standalone tracker or basic TNC.<br /><br />Thanks to the new pass-through option for NMEA data, you can use it with <br />non-APRS applications as a USB GPS receiver, and applications like <br />APRSISCE/32 that support NMEA within KISS frames can use it as a GPS <br />receiver
and TNC simultaneously.<br /><br />For mobile applications you can run it from a cigarette lighter USB <br />adapter, and for portable use it'll run off of a USB battery pack. <br />There's no enclosure for it yet, and I can't guarantee there will ever <br />be one that fits this version, but at least for the duration of the beta <br />test period you get a GPS receiver and tracker/TNC for less than what <br />some places charge for a USB GPS receiver alone.<br /><br />You can buy it in our store for $65:<br /><br /><a href="https://www.argentdata.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=170">https://www.argentdata.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=170</a><br /><br />More information is available on the wiki:<br /><br /><a href="http://wiki.argentdata.com/index.php?title=T3-Micro">http://wiki.argentdata.com/index.php?title=T3-Micro</a><br /><br />We've only got a handful of these boards ready to go right now, but <br />we'll have another batch done in a couple of weeks.<br

another detail - except for the first half-dozen or <br />so, all of the units we've got ready to ship have high-altitude capable <br />GPS receivers.
