Folks

Current firmware (0.9) is here:

http://www.g6lvb.com/Articles/LVBTracker/LVBTrackPIC16V0.9.hex 

I sincerely recommend upgrading any devices with firmware prior to 0.9 - I
don't know what or when it happened, but I believe that a COM port driver
update over the past year or so within the Windows OS made the RS-232 port
speed rather more picky. Due to a schoolboy error on my part, I'd had a bug
in there since the year dot that meant the PIC's baud rate generator was
loaded with a slightly inaccurate value. This is resolved with the 0.9
firmware release above.

73, Howard G6LVB

Hello,
What firmware version are you running with your LVB Tracker? About 3 years
ago users reported about the same problem (chattering relays). They could
fix it with a firmware update (version 0.2 to 0.5, meanwhile there are
further updates).
