How long did you wait after turning it on?
How good is your antenna position?
Did you tell it to remember the location after a survey finished?
If it's been off for a few weeks, it doesn't know where the satellites are.
To get started, it has to find one by a brute force search. With a good
antenna, that doesn't take very long. Then it takes 15 minutes to collect
the satellite info. With a poor antenna location, it takes longer, maybe a
lot longer.
Thanks Hal for your answer.
My TB now is switched on since yesterday, but no satellites are acquired...
Last time I switched it on, it worked, and, even after a long off period, it
did take not more than
a few minutes to acquire the first satellite.
Yesterday, after I saw that no satellites did show up in LH, I issued the !
command to do a cold reset,
just to see if it could be of help.
My antenna is a timing antenna, on the chimney of my house, completely free
from obstacles.
There is the possibilities that a thunderstorm has broken its small mast,
tomorrow I will check.
This seems to be the only reasonable cause of the malfunction... the TB accepts
commands
and sends back status info. Unless its GPS receiver has developed a fault...
