Just a bit of information about Florida weather, as to date we are about 26 inches ahead of normal rainfall for the year. Now this is a big problem when it comes to soaring during the spring. We really need to dry out quick to have some good spring soaring weather. If it dried out tomorrow and...

Since I upgraded SYM to 4.3 on my hx4700 it no longer receives GPS data from my LX7007. I've played with the port settings (comm ports, buad rates) with no success. Has anyone else had this problem? Could be a cable went bad, but I'd like to rule out a software configuration problem ... 2NO
