Status LED
A single bi-color LED is used to show the status of the unit. Immediately
upon start up, the LED will flash a pattern of red and green, indicating that
the unit is starting up and internally resetting. If this pattern continues
without stopping, this is an indication that something is wrong, such as a low
battery state or excessive SWR. The single pulse of a red signal indicates
that the unit is sending a transmission. A blinking green indicates that the
unit has switched on the GPS and is waiting for it to lock onto the GPS
satellites. When the GPS locks on solidly, the TT3 brain will allow the
transmitter to send its data out over the air, causing the GPS green indicator
to switch off. In some cases, the GPS LED will remain lit until the next
timing cycle. This is normal, and is an attempt by the TT3 to verify good
GPS data.
Programming
Ordinarily, the MT-AIO is shipped pre-programmed with the user’s
information. In the event that a user needs to reprogram the MT-AIO, this
can be accomplished in several ways. A Kenwood compatible cable is
available through Byonics for this device.
Please note that the
programming cable wiring is different than Version 1.1 of the MT-AIO,
and now uses the Kenwood wiring scheme.
To program the device, the power amplifier control should be turned all the
way counter-clockwise (off)
The Micro-Trak AIO software may be downloaded from the Byonics
website. Additional information on programming parameters may be found
in the regular TT3 manual. Note that not all functions are available in the
standard TT3 configuration are available for use on the MT-AIO.
Alternatively, the PIC may be removed and plugged into a regular TT3 for
programming, using a null modem cable and a gender changer. Note that
there is a difference in the chips, and the TT3 should not be connected to a
radio while programming! Use only the programming software designed for
the MT-AIO.
