Hi All,

Well, as I believe I mentioned on this list, I did indeed try the BT-338
receiver with the case for it from Executive Products.  And, in the three or
four times I used it with my PK, I couldn't really tell any difference with
the receiver on my shoulder in the case, or with it just in my purse.  Now,
I think their case is quite nice, say for someone who doesn't carry a purse
or some other type bag in which to put the receiver; however, if I can get
the same results with the receiver safely tucked in my purse, then that is
what I'll likely continue.

Just for the fun of it, after acquiring satellites on my way to the bus stop
with my Blue Logger and PK, while on the bus, I then took the Blue Logger
off my
shoulder and put it in my purse.  (I already knew I couldn't get a fix with
the Blue Logger in my purse right from the start.)  And, although I was
always able to
maintain a fix, and a reasonably accurate one, I would often be told that I
was on the cross street, rather than the one we were actually traveling
down.  Of course, I do have that nice strap that Sendero provides with the
PK, and I know I could just put my receiver on there; but, well, guess I
just got used to using the PK with that smaller strap that just seems
to fit the unit.  I'm sure I'll use the heavier strap for the mPower when I
get one, though.

Oh, I haven't purchased the Executive Products case for the PK itself yet.
Although, what with now taking the CF cards out of the unit when we're not
using
them, I'll likely get that soon as well.
