But no I don't use the GPS_NAV display so the voltage doesn't show all the time. And it will be less cost if I ship through the post office. And no offense to the vendors. In this age of computers and rising fuel costs and shipping costs plus insurance, isn't it possible to make better use of technology and provide for security sealing by computer communication? *We transfer money electronically don't we? A lot of people have done electronic payments right? *You can give control of your PC to someone over the internet and they can run a software program on their computer to load a device hooked up to your computer. And so me average joe doesn't have the key program to cheat (like I really want to anyway). I know this communication is possible because I've done it. * So why is it not possible to hook up the GPS unit to the PC connected to the internet, connect with the key master and load the serial #? * You can still pay the $20 or $40 dollar cost to the proprieter with paypal or visa and both parties are happy. I guess I still have to support Brown Company anyway. Thanks for the discussion.

Hi, Yes, it is possible to change the backup battery without breaking the seal. Just keep the unit powered with 12V power while replacing the backup battery. The customer that started this thread had the backup battery get too low and die before it was replaced. *The unit then had a security failure and needs re-sealing. Paul Remde "Fred Blair" *wrote in message ... Can't you change the internal battery before it gets real low without breaking the seal? *wrote in message ....

Steve Michalik Exact cost for 1 day turnaround by Gary at NK the week before last was $130 including memory battery , calibration chart,and next day return delivery. My experience is that this is excellent service for a very fair price. Certainly not the "hundreds of dollars" you seem to anticipate. UH The old Cambridge DOS program for the PC * reads the voltage of the backup battery. The Cambridge Nav head also shows the backup voltage upon power-up. It pay to obsesrve this from time to time. Hartley Falbaum USA- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Sam, I provide calibration for $60 + $40 to reset seal = $100 + shipping. My Standard turn is 1 day. *If I receive today I will ship back tomorrow. *I find that many customers appreciate this service as they can save $ on shipping by using US Priotiy Mail or FEDEX Saver. I would replace the battery every year. *They are inexpensive. Powering the recorder while replacing the battery does not break the electronic security seal. *Take the top cover GPS Antenna off while the recorder is powered and replace the battery. *Use a CR2330 battery, this is 5mm thicker than the recommended battery BR or CR 2325, and insures good contact. http://www.craggyaero.com/calibration.htm Thanks Richardwww.craggyaero.com- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Sorry forgot the decimal point on the 5mm, it is really .5 mm thicker.
