Yep. This was a requested feature to help ensure nobody is accidentally changing the config on someone else's board at a launch. It can be annoying at times if, like me, you're using one ground station to tweak rockets for more than one person, but you get used to it pretty quickly. > Also before the flash, the > RSSI level was running at 0 with the units sitting within a couple of > feet of each other, after the flash the RSSI went to -118.

Keith tweaked the TeleDongle receiver parameters slightly at some point, and we got better sensitivity as a result, but I can't explain the numbers you're seeing. Maybe he can. Typically, I see about -50 when units are "close" going to maybe -95 or so at the limits of reception. Sounds like something in the RSSI measuring/reporting is just different on your unit. If it's all still working ok, I wouldn't get too worked up over the numbers. > Another question, there is an Apogee Lockout setting that is not in > the current manual – is this a Mach lockout setting? Yes. Requested by a couple highly insistent customers. We strongly recommend *not* using this feature. Let the Kalman filter do its thing... > Hope to get another good workout for the TeleMetrum at our Sullivan > Lake 20th Anniversary Launch this weekend. Cool. Hope it all goes well for you! Bdale
