This uses radio communication instead of a + USB cable. To set this up, the ground station software + must be configured to the correct data rate, frequency + and callsign. + + You can monitor Packet Link mode from TeleBT or + TeleDongle by watching the LEDs. Each time the device + transmits, the red LED will flash. When the link is + busy, or when the link is not working, the device will + transmit 10 times per second, so the LED will flash + rapidly. When the link is working and there is no data + to send, the link will flash once per second, and the + LED will flash more slowly.
