TlmEcho Ver1.1.1 Release

TlmEcho had a version up to Ver 1.1.1.
I received and analyzed AO-51 signals using this TlmEcho Ver1.1.1 on 26, 28 Dec 2005.

First, you download "TlmEcho Ver 1.04", the complete windows installation
package from (1) as bellow and install it into PC. Secondly, you download
the new version "TlmEcho Ver 1.1.1" from (2) as bellow and extract it.
And you replace Tlmecho.exe in (1) to Tlmecho.exe in (2).

Mike Kingery, KE4AZN has written a telemetry decoder, TlmEcho, that will allow
the user to view and capture telemetry that is downlinked by Echo in real time.

Supplement:

Firstly install full package 'TlmEcho_Pack_v104.zip'.
Be sure to edit 'CPBINI.txt' for com port, com port speed, modem type,
KISS ON/OFF parameters, callsign, LAT/LON, etc. The following is a sample.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

;com port number. Valid ports are 1 thru 8
port 1
;port data rate.  Must match the tnc
;supported settings: 9600, 19200, 34800, 57600, 115200

; y = take the tnc out of kiss when program is quit, kissoff

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Three new files 'Tlmecho.exe Ver1.1.1 , EchoCoef.csv , filterlist.txt' are
provided when we extract 'TlmEcho_EXE_v111.zip'.
Replace the former files with them.

By the way, in "CPBINI.txt" mentioned above, we set it with "kiss off y",
but TNC does not really get away from the KISS mode at the time of the end
of TlmEcho.

To TNC KISS OFF, please upload my own 'kiss_off.txt' file into TNC, and
this file is available at http://www.ne.jp/asahi/hamradio/je9pel/kiss_off.txt
