For some reason when stopped the TT3 does not send any beacons.  It has been
said before that HF APRS is all about knowing where someone is in a region,
not about which corner they have just turned.

 

If I'm reading them right, the HF settings recommended at
http://aprs.net.au/configuration/tinytrak3 should give a beacon every 30
minutes when stationary.





However if the frequency is not being overloaded it's better to use it than
loose it, when/if it becomes a problem we can provide guidance on what may
be a better beaconing rate.

 

I've always thought it would be nice to have a "beacon now" button on the
TT3, for those times when you want everyone to know where you are right now.
Of course, one can always cycle the power and wait a minute for the GPS to
lock again.
