Default 302 problem with 'B' record error?

Hi,

I don't think "spikes in the B records" would be caused by memory roll-over.
I suspect either a faulty or poorly connected GPS antenna, or a dying GPS
engine. Tighten the GPS antenna using a wrench (but not too hard as to pop
the nut off the cable). If that doesn't work, I can sell you a new antenna.
If that doesn't work it would need to go to Cambridge for a repair. They
are currently in the process of moving and difficult to reach.

The rollover information can be found he

For my flight on Sunday 27th,used SeeYou to a laptop. That failed up
front, rejected instantly by OLC. So I sent a help message and Hannes, one
of the nice people at OLC, removed what he called all the spikes in the B
records and it scored satisfactorily.
Having had a problem with that method, for my flight on Monday I
downloaded via a PDA using the Cambridge utility program, to a Compact
Flash card and hence to the OLC. (This was the method I used all last year
with zero problems.) That upload appeared to work normally, but it came up
with a red V and an automatically generated note saying there appears to
be a problem with the logger, please contact agent or manufacturer.
Since this forum has routinely been so helpful sharing experiences I
thought that I would ask here first before taking the 302 out of the
panel.

OLC reports that the 'b' records in the log are inconsistent and are
described as having spikes. The OLC help team kindly restored one of
the two logs I have so far submitted, but can't expect them to do it
regularly.


Any suggestions? Anybody been through this already? Or is my 302
destined for a trip to Cambridge?


Thanks, Howard (HL).
