Subject: [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)

Peggy
