JD, Hans Summers G0UPl offers an ID chip for his qrss beacons(100mw on
80,40,amd30 meters) see http://www.hanssummers.com/qrsskeyer.html for
details. Hans introduced his qrss beacon kits at FDIM at Dayton in
2010. I have one of the 30 meter kits. and have reception reports from
Fl,Mn, and OK(kl7uk's graabber) he offers speeds from 3 to 20 second
dots. Shouldnt be hard to get him to program for qrss 30 and 60. Google
"hans summers" and that should take you to his home page, quite a good
experimenter.
Also check out the page of W1REX for the picaxe programmer and beacon ID info.
Still getting over the Epstien-Barr virus( mononucleosis) here so not
doing much at present, I will keep looking.
