I'd suggest that the unit does not have a temeperature sensor but the firmware reports 30 deg C to maintain compatibility with units (T-Bolt?) that do. Robert G8RPI.

I'm not sure what exactly it means to have a sensor at a fixed temperature. I could see the setting being fixed, but not the sensor itself. Temperature Sensor ¨ STARLOC II – Value fixed at 30 oC ----------------- That manual section does refer to the software so could be just meaning the displayed value but as you're seeing the same in LH etc I assume that is what's being reported by the Starloc. I can't see that the sensor itself could be "fixed" either, assuming one is actually fitted, but suspect the firmware is just preloading that value into a register or memory location and it doesn't get updated for whatever reason. At least you know that what you're seing is as expected. I don't recognise your GPS numbers but, as commented earlier, some versions of the starloc at least use the M12. The Starloc 2 look to be a nice unit. regards Nigel GM8PZR _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
