Uses of Your MT1200
The MT1200 is designed for use as a stand-alone device, once it has been configured
appropriately, along with a transmitter or transceiver for sending GPS position reports,
and/or I/O telemetry data reports.
It can also be used as a regular TNC for packet communication with other packet
stations (with or without the GPS option).
This allows you to do the following:
•
transmit GPS location data from a vehicle
•
serve as a basic digipeater for other stations
•
transmit reports of analog or digital inputs
•
control external devices with transistor switched control lines
•
use computers to carry on real-time digital conversations between stations
•
send and receive files
