Because with an Oncore you can't even move it or swap a cable. Anything that causes the power to go down even for an instant clears the memory and a simple $1 battery will fix this problem and last for many years. Yes get the UPS but the Oncore can be greatly improved by such a simple and cheap fix that it makes sense to do it. That said, there are commands you can send to the Oncore that will load an almanac and a survey location. So even after a memory loss you can be up running in a few seconds after this data are loaded from a computer. -- ===== Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ 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.
