Just being "that kind'a guy" I waited to last minute to play with my TeleMetrum before going to LDRS-32 starting Wednesday July 17th.
I found a number of issues and I'm not totally sure if it's "pilot error" of it the TeleMetrum is having problems. One thing that I found is that, despite what the manual say, the yellow/orange LED on the TeleMetrum never goes out while charging it using the USB cable. I had it hook up for 8 hours and then later for ~ 10 hours.(I found this unsettling.) Is it something to be concerned about? I'm I doing something wrong? The second issue is a bigger concern. When I have the TeleMetrum plugged into my Windows 7 laptop via the USB cable, I can configure it as discussed it the manual. However, when I try to configure it (or even "monitor idle") via the radio, nothing. Any ideas on what's going on? Encouragingly, if I turn the TeleMetrum in the virtual position, I'm able to monitor it via radio and it seems to be behaving just as expected (and like the manual says) If anyone has any light they can shed on this, it would be helpful. I ended up making a new altimeter sled for my Giant Leap Vertical Assault that uses my well tested and trusty PerfectFlite StratoLogger. My plan is to fly with the StratoLogger for a flight or two and then give the TeleMetrum a go. If anything goes wrong at that point at least I'll have two flights on the Vertical Assault before I up the risk and go for some real altitude.
