I'm not sure if this link has been passed around yet, but it has a few photos and some info on the system.

Hi Bob,
Yes, that's a library image of one of Leo's solar powered payloads, I don't have a pic of B-64.
If you send Leo an email I'm sure he'd fill you in on the details - I'm just amazed he's managed to get everything into such a small and light package, as you might expect the rechargeable cell is the heaviest part.

Trevor,
The M0XER-4 (I thought) did frequency shifting (APRS 144 MHz national channels over Europe and the US), and so I thought it had more complexity. The image shown on the link below only has 434 MHz antennas, no obvious GPS and no VHF antennas. Can you clarify and help us get an idea of what this M0XER4 payload actually looked like? Thanks, Bob, WB4aPR
