So, it has been over two years since I purchased an APRS Tiny Tracker 4 when I was in the USA for Dayton Hamvention 2017.
I am finally starting to do something with it, after using it in the states fairly unsuccessfully for my drives around Dayton and Orlando, and when I say unsuccessfully – I really had no real idea what i was doing with it and since I have been back in ZL land it really has been put away forgotten about – being unused.
However since starting a new job in 2019, I have been working with a very interesting Ham who also runs a lot of APRS, I have pulled it out, and starting to configure it.
Searching for settings and finding not much useful information online around configuration of this unit, or anything really around APRS in general – or more accurately – a lot of dis-information I have found, is actually what lead me to start this blog for my radio activities.
Here is a 24 hour period of tracking from https://aprs.fi as you can see I have Smart Beaconing working quite well thanks to ZL1VFO and a lot of time asking questions – I am fairly happy with the way it is tracking now for me.
Once I get really happy with it, in the next few days, I will upload my config file here – in the hope that when someone else buys one – they don’t need to go through all the frustrations I have been through trying to work out settings and other things for this unit.
