Default 2 deg. C too high

Grandmaster,

My new one seems to read 2 deg. C too
high. Any ideas? The probe is hard-wired from the factory (so, the
probe is correct).


How do you arrive at the conclusion that the probe is correct? We have
the same problem with a Davtron probe, only with 3 degrees too high. It
displays on our GTX330 and through that, the Garmin 430. We are told by
Davtron that +/- 3 degrees is about the tolerance of the probe and that
there is no way to correct it. There is also no way to program an
offset into the GTX330, although that would be the easy way to correct
it. IMHO, the probe is wrong.

From the factory, my probe came hard-wired internally to the head. 3
deg. C seems like a very loose tolerance.

I agree.
