Micro-Trak AIO (All In One)

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.

Anacapa School has launched a MT-AIO to near space. See the video!

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.
