Vicky,
Weather should have little impact on GPS reception.
I have been testing the BT339 and Holux and will soon also have a
Fortuna Slim to test. For our UK friends who have tried that
receiver, it runs at 38.4 baud so that is why it won't work with the
BrailleNote PK. The standard for receivers is 4800 baud. We may add a
38.4 selection if it appears that more than this one receiver are
going that route.
One thing to check with these new receivers is their connectivity. I
have experienced more drop outs than with the Blue Logger or Garmin
receivers. By this I mean that the new receivers I am testing
completely disconnect and the PK says Bluetooth not detected or
sometimes they just flick to no detection for a second and then
reconnect. You can always press G to see the receiver status and with
these new receivers, I would do that frequently to test the connectivity.

Hi All,
Well, when I tried the BT 338 receiver this morning, it worked just
fine with the multiple repeat commands. So, who knows. Either I
was doing something wrong before, or the number of satellites and
weather conditions made the difference. For, the last time I tried
with the BT 338 when it didn't work, I normally got 4 or 5
satellites and it was cloudy, while I got between 8 and 10
satellites today and it was sunny.
