TrakBox v1.20a 1992-02-17 updated JA6FTL JG6MCG / JAMSAT ; At power on startup,backup RAM will be checked with check sum,if check sum ; error is detected, the system give worning message which means the config- : ured values may be lost. ; At power on startup, working mode is selected automaticaly according to ; the hardware satellite switch position.If hardware satellite select switch ; is position 0, TrakBox starts as terminal mode. Position other than 0 means ; stand alone mode and it start tracking with selected satellite elements. ; In both mode, calculated results is displayed on LCD panel and send data ; to communication port.
