New Software Update

[dgeoghagan]

I updated my LS+ Unit. It looks like I no longer have RTPK. Is there a new place to turn the RTPK on and off, or is there something else I'm missing?

Also, I had a difficult time getting both my receivers to communicate through cellular. I've never had this problem before and have been using it for the last 12 months. Both receivers had full cell service but would not communicate to receive corrections. I went through all the settings and rebooted both units, and finally, it started working.

The free RTPK demo period was ended so you need to purchase the RTPK option if you do not have it.

If you just updated to the PreRelease version of software you need to go through the settings and select the correct RTN Interface setting. Auto mode was removed. Refactoring of a lot of the communication settings was also done so if communications aren't working the General Group profiles to make sure everything is correct.

The RTN Interface setting is found by editing (pencil icon) your RTN APN.

Thanks. Who can I contact to make the purchase?

You should contact the person who sold you the system. Maybe you dealt with Michael Glutting?

 

[dgeoghagan]

I did. I will contact him. Thanks.

Had serious radio issues yesterday in the field after the latest pre-release update. Like, losing signal at 700' from the base 4watt gentle sloping terrain, no obstructions other than trees. Also, had strange switching from cdf to 2 and 4 engine fixes at random when I was actually getting radio corrections. Really needed to get 5000' across the lake I was at, managed +4000' last week at the same site across mountain valley in HEAVY canopy and forest. So I was confident I could get it done with all that lake, but couldn't even get out of the boat launch area.

Going back to the release software, hopefully that fixes the issue.

Also noticed that the 'stop after' parameters were not working. For example, I have a profile for 50 epochs and 60 seconds minimum with 1 engine fixed. I was getting shots that kept going to 300+ epochs even after 60 seconds passed without accepting. Not sure what that was about.

Could you send the project to support for analysis?

Sending it now. Project is UHW1-TWP 19 SALMON POND 5-13-21 LS+ 00998 I already bumped it back down to the release version this morning. I can leave it hooked up to RAMS for a while today as well if that helps (password 2049)

Did you double check the radio output power was set to 4 watts?

For the point continuing to collect there was probably some signal variety parameter that was not being met.
