Yes, and there are various ways to pair devices (usually involving a
pushbutton or jumpers), but you're still going to need power to both
devices, so it's not that big a gain for many users.<br>
<br>
My next generation trackers will have WiFi as well, so for the host
connection I'm hoping to get more users to move to an AGWPE type TCP
connection.<br>

the risk of hijacking this thread, would it be possible to

Bluetooth to eliminate the wired RS232 serial connection

how would the pairing be configured?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

connects to the DB-9 serial port of the TinyTrak4 TNC
and converts it to BT. It takes power from the 5V on
the DB-9 pin 4, so if your TNC doesn't have that, you
will need to find a way to power it. But as long as
your TNC baud rate is 19200, it should be fairly plug
and play. With some work, it can be changed to other
baud rates, too.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
