It does, if you skip the pairing step. Leave the LCD receiver off until you hear the slow beeping on the TRS (that tells you that it's looking for a cable connection), and it won't halt if there's no continuity on the channels because they have been turned off.
Hmmmmmm, I would suspect if the TRS with both the Apogee/Main turned off would be just as happy streaming the position and the baro altitude if the device was paired to the LCD unit at the beginning of the rsync cycle? That of course would be the case if the device had a static port for an accurate reading.
Locked up in a nosecone might not be best if desiring accurate streamed baro altitude.
If one just let it go all the way through the LCD pairing and USB cable pairing to the end of the time-out, it would just stream the lat/long and GPS altitude?
So, that would be the time to turn on the LCD unit at the end so the TRS would be simply considered a GPS tracker? Kinda weird as I'd just as soon get a plain EF due to the smaller footprint. Nonetheless, if there's ample room available to carry the TRS as a plain tracker, why not?

Another successful scenario:
1. Running a TRS as tracker and standard 2 channel deployment device.
2. Using two receiving devices: a USB wired (or B/T) "Headless" EggFinder receiver to a laptop and an LCD paired to an Android device
Quite simple except the TRS has to be set to id "0" and the USB wired headless receiver has to be the frequency the TRS is on. (or paired separately)
Simply pair the LCD to the TRS (Rf) as usual and of course pair the LCD via the USB to the Android device.
The headless receiver can be plugged into a laptop and can of course receive the coordinates just fine and dandy.
It of course could connect to the laptop via B/T if the hardware is in place in the "headless" receiver.
"Headless" = Simply means an Eggfinder receiver without an LCD display. Could be via USB or B/T depending on how the builder constructed it.
The LCD will monitor position with the baro altitude and the laptop will be in a mode to monitor lat/long and GPS altitude.
What good is this? Can have a record of the flight to the tracking program on the laptop and have a portable solution to go after the rocket for recovery. Kurt
