Some Model 20s, mine included, have a memory boundary problem internally

The result is one bad record written to the cai file and the resulting igc
file. The OLC software will not tolerate this. I have had it manually
corrected by the OLC administrator, however, to do this every time is a bit
much to ask.

I have gone no further on the problem. It is a software bug and a known
problem to Cambridge but I have not approached them for a solution. There
has been the suggestion of removing all of the log files from the unit each
time and perhaps the memory boundary will not be reached. I will try this
out in the next few weeks and post an evaluation.

I welcome any other suggestions. The model 20 works fine for everyone else.

Steve,

I posted a note earlier on this forum regarding a similar (the same?)
problem. The recognizable symptom in the output B Records I've seen is
that the date/time stamp is corrupted such that the record falls out of
seqeunce. Is this the same thing you are seeing, or is it something
else?
