John,
I've come up with a few occasions when the blue tooth receiver is
appearing in the connectivity menu, i.e. O cord C B but when I go in
to the GPS software it can't find the receiver. The only option that
appears to work for me is to remove the pairing and then reconnect
things. To remove the pairing, turn the receiver off. Do O cord, C, B,
enter y for blue tooth on, N for don't search for Bluetooth devices. Go
down the list of devices to the right one, enter on it and hit R for
remove pairing. Now turn the receiver on, and repeat the above, but
obviously say yes to search for blue tooth devices. If this doesn't work
then I do a reset which is to hold the two recessed buttons down on the
right side of the PK keyboard. I think they are called C3 and C4. After
a few seconds you get a reboot of the system. This will turn the blue
tooth off as well.
To be honest I find that once you have the system going then simply just
don't turn anything off. Carry the spare battery for the GPS though
just in case. A light probe to check the lights on the receiver is also
a must. Nine times out of ten you can rely on the PK to say if the
receiver is on or not but if you miss it then it takes a while to work
through all the combinations to get the thing up and running again. And
of course it happens when you need it fastest.
The blue logger is OK on buses if you sit on the right hand side and
hold it up against the window about eighteen inches up. The best
position seems to be on the rear seat of the bus but of course you have
to put up with the eccentrics that hang out back there. Twelve year
olds swapping drug tips and comparing knives being just one episode I
had recently.

Hi list,
Must make a comment about my pk gps which I acquired to-day.
it's really brilliant.
much faster with acquiring routes and faster when responding to
commands.
a real plus what a brilliant job.
I did try my other gps btgps receiver which the pk will pair with and
say
active sync is active but when I run the gps it cannot use the receiver
no
worry as on the top of my pc in the bedroom I get seven satellites.
Wonder if Liam is on the list as when I connected my blue logger it took
some time to get the gps program to see the logger.
Liam, if you are on the bus and loose touch with the gps receiver what
do
you do? I mean what re-set do you perform to get the receiver back
again.
e.g. if on abbeydale road and you have to tune a piano at Cartanole road
you need the receiver on fast as you can as you may pass cartanole road.
not sure which re-set to do and if you must pair again from scratch.
sorry about the nature of this post but tomorrow I have tunings to do
and
must try and find this out. thanks.
