[gps-talkusers] portrak frustrations

Hi, all.  I'm so frustrated with my Sportrak! Of all times to give out, it 
would have to happen on vacation in Portland.  I thought at first my cable had 
given out again, because I'd get a no fix message then a not detected message, 
then a no fix again, and back and forth.  But my sighted husband looked at the 
receiver and said that it was going on and off, and when it would go off, it 
would give a little beep.  I tried changing batteries, but still have the same 
results.  I guess I'll have to look into the Earthmate when I get back home.  I 
wonder if it gives out like the Sportrak seems to.  I had to undo and then 
re-do my serial connection when I upgraded the BrailleNote, but tried to be 
careful; I hope I didn't break something.

But at least I can use virtual mode.  (sigh)
