[OZAPRS] TinyTrack3 Plus GPS Combo- Problems

[Michael Carey]

What type of GPS are you using, how are you powering both the GPS and 
the TT3. Are you supplying 12V through the radio connector and using the 
TT3 onboard 5V regulator to supply 5V to the GPS? 
Did you get the TT3+ with the bigger 5V regulator? The 78L05 reg in a 
normal TT3 isn't up to powering a lot of 5V GPS receivers as well as the 
TT3 circuit.

Michael.
