Default Need Help With Compaq 1550

Thanks, Andy, I'll check into the CF backup. Normally, I don't quit for any
season, in fact, I had a 3.6 hour flight just yesterday. Didn't get far,
but it was fun poking around at the rotors trying to get up into the wave.
No luck this time but I did succeed a week ago.

I am using ActiveSync...

Dan, the best advise I can give for the Aero series is to use Q
utilities to make a CF backup when you have it set up the way you want
it. You can recover from any nasty event in just a few minutes and do
it at the airport without any need for a supporting computer.

At the end of the season a make a current CF backup, make sure the
main battery if fully charged, then remove the main and backup
batteries. Start of next season just replace the batteries, quick
freshen of the charge, then restore the configuration.

You can of course save the CF backup file to you PC and keep multiple
versions of it if you modify the name. That protects you from loss of
the CF card. You can make similar backup with ActiveSync but you don't
need to have it.
