One of the barriers to using the RTC program with a radio is the soldering involved in putting the radio together and the programming involved with compiling the RTCModem program for downloading into the radio.
Now panStamp sells a complete, assembled version of the AVR2.
I ordered several and I have ported my RTCModem code to run on it.
From the panStamp store, you need to order a few items (you can use the links):
1. "panStick 4.0" module and SMA connector assembed with option (very important) "panStamp AVR2 @ 902-928 MHz" PS0002. panStamp supplies these components assembled and tested. Now there is NO soldering necessary.
2. "SMA articulated antenna" AN0003
3. If you want to get fancy, you can order a small plastic box "Enclosure for mini-carrier boards" EN0005
You will need a USB cable (USB A Male to USB Micro B) to connect the board to your computer.
Here is a photo of the radio as you can order it from panStamp.
Once you get the radio, I have worked out a small program which can directly download the compiled version of RTCModem into the panStamp. You can find that program "XLoader" along with instructions at this link: http://www.silogic.com/trains/...Support.html#XLoader .
