[OZAPRS] MICE usage

[Paul Mullins]

Hi there all,
I have a TT4 in the back of my car connected to a IC-1010, with a home / 
witches brew volt volt cut out, it monitors the rear battery and just 
turns off the TT4 and radio + GPS, in the program for the TT4 I heavily 
use smart beaconing, setup right works well, then when I stop for a long 
time it beacons a couple of times with-in the first 20 minutes, and then 
if I have not moved after that there is only 6 - 9 beacons per hour as 
it does not move, this works well in my case, and then the battery 
slowly gets to the cut off point about 12.8 v then dead until I start 
the car.

Now the TT4's do have a special feature in the software, just for this 
sitting in one place not doing a thing, it looks at the GPS sentence 
notes that it has not moved and swaps a pin high or low cant remember, 
to find it you have to CLI into the TT4, it is also tied up with the 
voltage set point, I know it is there got the writer to install it.

I feel a voltage drop out would do the job for him well, I have my drop 
out set high otherwise you can hear it squawking at nights if the volume 
is up on the radio, I have it set so I can just here it whilst driving, 
its funny when you are driving around in the middle of nowhere and all 
of a sudden you start hearing traffic.

I hope this gives an idea,

cheers all

Paul
