I'm forced to agree with it but I don't want to. :)  I'm exhausting all 
other possible avenues before declaring the receiver badly programmed.

The sad part is that I have four more of these identical units.  I

telemetry devices.  I'll be disappointed if they can't be fixed but I 
doubt GlobalSat even supports them anymore.
