Programming the Frequency, ID Code, and Device Name
All Eggfinder GPS units are shipped on 915 MHz with an ID Code of zero. Using the USB data
cable, you can change the center frequency and ID code, allowing up to 72 Eggtimer TRS units to be
running simulataneously. In addition, you an also “name” your device, so that when you pair your
Eggfinder LCD receiver with it you will be sure that it’s YOUR device that you’re looking at.
Note: If you change the frequency and/or ID Code of your Eggtimer TRS, you’ll need to change it
on your Eggfinder LCD receiver as well. If you are using an Eggfinder RX “dongle” receiver, it will
be a fixed frequency with an ID Code of zero.
To get to the Eggtimer TRS frequency programming screen, go to the Eggtimer TRS Flight Settings
menu by connecting the cable to your laptop, starting your terminal program, and turning on the
Eggtimer TRS. When you see the screen, hit the ENTER key to stop the beeping and let the
Eggtimer TRS know that you’re programming it.
From the Flight Settings screen, press the CTRL and F keys simultaneously. You will see this
screen:

Press the letter of the parameter that you wish to change. For Frequency and ID Code, you cycle
through the values by using the “+” and “-“ keys; the “+” key goes UP to the next value, the “-“ key
goes DOWN to the previous value. When you see the value that you want, hit the ENTER key.
The Device Name is a 16-character freeform text field, it accepts A-Z (capitals only), 0-9, and
spaces. You can use the BACKSPACE key to back up a character. When you’re done, hit the
ENTER key.
When you are satisfied with all of the values, press the ESC key. The values will be saved, and you
will hear the slow beep-beep that indicates that the Eggtimer TRS is halted.
