Great video about an extremely cool low power mode. I'll just mention one detail; the tracker firmware is set up to support 3 distinct profiles. That way you can easily switch symbol and call-sign using the buttons on the tracker. But it's also flexible enough that you can set individual operating frequencies for each of the profiles. Very useful if you bring the device to another country where they use a different frequency. Not so good if you're only planning on using it on 433.775MHz. So in that case I would suggest that you set all the 3 profiles to the same frequency, spreading factor and coding rate. For Europe (sans the UK and Poland) is 433.775MHz, spreading factor 12 and coding rate 5! Happy APRS-ing 🙂
Tanks for the help! As i can see on your video battery voltage say 0.0V(I think no battery is installed). I put a charged 18650 on mine but tracker doesn't work, and with usb power i still read 0,0V. Is there a mod to do?
That is because I have a defect battery. I haven't reached a point where I have replaced it, because life has happened. I might get to look further into it over Christmas.

Thank you Bob!
great!
Thanks Ricardo!
This is quite interesting, thank you very much. I'll order one of the lilygo devices to try this out. 73
It is a great cost/fun-factor to this.
Very nice.
Thank you!

@@LB0FI Mine it's fully charged and I read 4.18V on Voltmeter when installed, but no Voltage on display and no battery operated operations
