Yes, I see that with the pk and I think I know where in lies the problem and
that is that there is an extra reset for the mpower and I keep forgetting it
or put it at the wrong time.
I'll have it figured out.

Mary Ellen,
The procedure for pairing is quite specific but it does work reliably once you get it down.

I have noticed one thing and that is that it has been extremely difficult to get the blue logger set up with the mpower.

Subject: [gps-talkusers] Multiple repeat, BT 338 fine
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.

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.
