[time-nuts] Another Trimble Tbolt question....

[Michael Baker]

Hello, All--

Thanks to the collective savvy of this list and the
patient assistance of Ken Winterling <wa2lbi> I was
finally able to get my Tbolt to stop requiring me
to configure the COM-4 channel every time I ran
the monitoring software.

So-- I had such good luck with that question, I'm
going to pester the group with one more Tbolt question:

In the "Position" area of the Tbolt monitoring display
my altitude is given as 1.4 meters.   The USGS topo map
and a recent survey both say that the ground level
at my house is 84 feet above MSL.  The antenna for the
T-bolt is on the top of my house 19 feet above the ground.

If I open SETUP / POSITION and "SET ACCURATE POSITION"
to, say....: 28 meters and enter that value, the indicated
altitude changes to 28 meters, but the next day or so,
I always find that it has reverted to 1.4 meters.

Admittedly, having a (relatively) accurate altitude
display is of minor importance to me since my primary
reason for having the Tbolt is for a decent 10MHz reference.

However, as a matter of principle it would be nice to
have the altitude display be a little closer!

Any suggestions as to how to get the Tbolt to
display a more correct altitude?

Thanks!
