I have been using a surplus Thunderbolt for about six months, and it seemed to be working fine. In January 2012, a message came up in yellow, (LEAP PENDING!), I don't know what this means, but since it didn't go away on Feb 28, must not be leap year related. About a week ago I got a Holdover: xx secs, message. It was a new figure in yellow. Yesterday the Thunderbolt stopped working correctly, there were no satellites found. I tried Lady Heather, and Trimble Studio without success. I finally got the unit back in service with a program called "Tboltmon.exe". After it was running for a couple of hours I restarted Lady Heather. This morning I again have "Holdover: 50 secs".
Does it sound normal, or is this unit headed for the junk box? Sorry, I am not very technical about this type of electronics. You can see a snapshot of Lady Heather at: http://wa6rzw.homelinux.net/addon/fmt/fmt_2.php Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated. 73 Ed, WA6RZW _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
