LoRa APRS Tracker (Part 7)

D’oh. Presumably this is in the instructions that I failed to read, I found that way through trial and error. And yes, that’s what I have to do to u/l the config file so I should have guessed. I’ve turned it off using your method, if it starts tomorrow morning then I’ll be chuffed.

Sounds as if the switch isn’t a bad idea from @G3CWI’s observation. I am quite happy with the power drain of the t-beam on standby, though it has a whopping great big 18650 battery. I’ll have to go back to that as the Heltec won’t talk to Android on CA2RXU’s s/w, though the selfsame board will talk to Android on Meshtastic, so it can be done in principle. I will try DAGA on G/SC-004 with the T-beam tomorrow, well impressed with LoRa realising APRS’s potential, the reach with very average antennas knocks the socks off 2m APRS from what I’ve seen
