Micro-Trak AIO (All In One)
The Micro-Trak AIO (All In One) is a complete, self-contained,
rugger, water resistant, portable, 10-watt APRS tracker,
including a frequency agile 2-meter transmitter,
a TinyTrak3 controller chip,
a Byonics GPS3 GPS receiver,
and an SMA antenna.
The MT-AIO was designed for ease of use.
It operates using 8 conventional AA batteries or a 12V power supply, and
comes pre-configured with your callsign, so it is ready to go.
Simply connect the antenna, and add batteries, and you are on the air!
The MT-AIO has been confirmed to run nearly 8 days when used with typical
AA alkaline batteries, transmitting every 2 minutes.
While SmartBeaconing is an option, it is not recommended,
since that setting requires the GPS to be constantly powered,
and battery usage will be limited to only a day or two.
The MT-AIO weighs only 14 oz without batteries,
and is available with your choice of our
Micro-Trak V2 Rubber Duck Portable antenna, or our
Micro-Trak V3 Mag Mount Vehicle antenna.
Even though it does ship pre-configured, users can easily update all settings by downloading the
configuration program below,
and using the optional programming cable listed below to connect to either a computer serial port or
a USB-to-serial adapter.
We do not recommend the V4 antenna for use with the MT-AIO, but all our other VHF antennas should work fine.
Ordering:
NOTE: The Micro-Trak AIO comes pre-configured, so after you place the order,
please use the order notes or a follow up email to send us your callsign & optional SSID,
and any other operating parameters which differ from the defaults in the configuration program (downloadable below).
If we do not receive this information, we will hold your order, and contact you via email before shipping.
If you are new to APRS, and unsure of what settings to use, we only need your callsign, as the other default settings should be fine for most users.
If you wish to use a frequency other than 144.39 MHz, please include that frequency also.

Micro-Trak AIO w/ V3 mag mount antenna - $260.

Balloonists please note the recommended path for balloons is just WIDE2-1, and power can typically be turned down to 1 watt or less.
MT-AIO Programming Cable - $15.
This optional serial cable used to configure a MT-AIO.
Typically the MT-AIO is shipped pre-configured, but with this cable, the settings can easily be changed later.
It is a DB-9 female to 3/32" stereo plug that can be used with a computer serial port or USB-to-serial adapter.
