VE2DX Electronics IM1-4BTTUFFV2 ICOM TUFF METERS Digital Display and TrueCIV Interface
VE2DX Electronics IM1-4BTTUFFV2 ICOM TUFF METERS Digital Display and TrueCIV Interface is high-quality portable 2-Inch Meter Display and TrueCIV version 2 Data Hub for most Icom transceivers. This unique waterproof mini-screen device can show two bar graph meters or two needle meter displays, as selected with two front panel buttons, as well as other transceiver status indicators. This specially programmed VE2DX Electronics Design ICOM METER ESP32 device ingeniously samples Icom transceiver CI-V data to display available information in multiple formats, depending upon radio model. This exciting device also includes a custom VE2DX Electronics Design CT17-NANO v2 internal 2 port hub with TrueCIV, a new CI-V TTL standard that is unmatched for CI-V signal performance, signal integrity, maximum link length and RFI prevention. Multiple accessory items can be simultaneously served the interfaced transceiver's CI-V data stream via this internal 2-port hub. It supports a many types of Icom CI-V reading station devices including frequency based band decoders, smart antenna switch controllers, amplifiers, tuners, band pass filters and more. This is the perfect electronic remedy for the missing physical CI-V port on the IC-705. Instead, this Bluetooth device pairs with the IC-705 to send data to its two TrueCIV ports and single USB port. Powered via the USB C port, this unit interfaces to over 20 different ICOM radios using any one of these methods to connect: CI-V via Standard CI-V 3.5mm Remote port cable, Bluetooth CI-V or USBoIP using UDP. Another important feature of the VE2DX Electronics IM1-4BTTUFFV2 is the programmable alarm any time your SWR goes over 3:1. Finally, integrated magnets in the back and bottom of the IM1-4BTTUFFV2 simplifies installation on your portable equipment or in your shack. NOTE: VE2DX Electronics IM1 Meter devices are not transceiver screen adapters and do not display a bandscope. This meter display unit frees up the main display of the 7300, 9700 and 705 for bandscope operations.

WiMo PicoAPRS-Lite APRS Transceiver Module
PicoAPRS-Lite APRS Transceiver Module - the little brother of the popular PicoAPRS. This is a tiny APRS tracker weighing just 7.2 grams*! Even though the PicoAPRS-Lite was developed with balloon flights with APRS payload (Pico balloons and stratosphere balloons) in mind, it can naturally also be used for many more APRS purposes. Thanks to its small measurements of just 27.8 x 66.9 x 6.3mm this tiny tracker can, for example, be installed nearly invisibly in cars. This allows for APRS usage without annoying wiring in the car or too short antenna cables. You can even carry the tracker around in your pocket! An SMA antenna jack is offered separately since its weight of about 2 grams is an unnecessary extra load for the light Pico balloons. This is also the reason why the tracker is being delivered without a case. Special functions of the PicoAPRS-Lite: - Automatic or manual frequency tuning on request. E.g. automatic for worldwide balloon flights. - In areas without APRS coverage and with automatic frequency tuning the ISS APRS frequency is used to be heard even in these situations. - Temperature and air pressure sensor. The values will be sent as an APRS comment in every position. - As an energy source a small solar cell with buffer capacitor can be used, as well as single-use or rechargeable batteries. - Voltage range ca. 3.2 - 5V. - When using a solar cell the PicoARPS-Lite will stay in battery-saving mode use only about 0.1mA until the buffer capacitor has stored enough charge, then sends a beacon and will go back into battery-saving mode to recharge for another beacon if needed. - Even with just one solar cell which supplies the buffer capacitor with just a tiny amount of current it can operate forever in sunshine! Ideal for a world trip with a balloon. - Even when using batteries the energy-saving mode will be used between beacon transmissions to extend the battery's lifetime. - Micro USB port for settings configuration with a terminal software. - Integrated GPS module with balloon mode up to 80km height, ideal for stratosphere balloons. - Transmission power configurable between 0.5 and 1W. - 7-pole lowpass filter to eliminate unwanted spurious emission. Status LED - Firmware updates via USB possible. Future wishes of users and product improvements can be uploaded later. Beware that this device has no voltage regulation! When operating with a solar panel and buffer capacitor the service voltage will usually drop to zero at night. With sunrise the device will be operational soon again. It's important that the tracker can be used with as little power as possible. A voltage regulator would cause a voltage drop which would be inconvenient during sunrise/sundown. To limit the maximum operating voltage a beacon will automatically be transmitted when reaching about 5V in balloon solar mode to use up stored energy. Doing so the maximum operating voltage won't be exceeded even when the idle solar cell provides too much voltage. *1) Weight without antenna jack, case or any energy source. Suggest accessories to be obtained from other sources: - SMA jack for circuit board mounting, upright, with long thread, for single hole fixing. If the device should be in a case and used with a regular antenna. - Lithium polymer battery 3.6V/800mA, as well as compatible connector cable for an external energy source. Beware, the PicoAPRS-Lite has no voltage regulator for batteries! Never charge batteries via USB! - Small USB charger for 4 LiPo batteries max.
