I'm pleased to announce that PicCon, version 2 is now available at 
www.byonics.com.  PicCon is a hidden transmitter controller, 
designed to provide an easy way to be the fox at your next T-Hunt.

The original PicCon was discontinued a few months ago, due to 
difficulty in finding SSI202 DTMF chip.  A new PicCon has been 
created, based on the M-8870 DTMF decoder.  The new PicCon performs 
just like the old, except there is now twice as much space for the 
morse code ID and tone sequence.

The new PicCon uses a different radio and power interface than the 
old PicCon.  There is now a DB-9 connector, compatable with the 
TinyTrak3, and Kantronics TNCs.  The new PicCon has also been 
designed to fit in a optional small plastic case.

The User's Manual is available for download at 
www.byonics.com/piccon , with pictures of the new design.  Price is 
the same as the original, $40.

I will also have kits at Dayton at the APRS booth #224.
