Altimeter - 76S vs 76CS
|
|
|
| Hi, all,
I'm curious whether there is a difference between the 2 receivers. When I
let GPS calibrate the altimeter on he 76S, shortly after it was prety close.
When I do the same thing with the 76CS, it ends up way off. Currently, I
have the 76CS running for at least 2 hours and the altitiude has drifted 35
feet. My current altitude is 34 feet, so its doubled my height. The 76S
never did this or I never caught it doing this, it read no more than a few
(<5) feet off.
Thanks for input,
Gus

I think that something's wrong. I've had them both and neither has done
that. Did you try resetting/recalibrating?

| Just did a full reset, will give it a wringout tonight. Hopefully, it will
solve the problem.

Try resetting most all of the settings. From the top of the screen
(reset trip data) down to and including "clear track log" and then
re-calibrate it and hopefully it's just a glitch and you'll be back in
business.
Good luck

| Nope, full reset didn't solve it. Could it possibly be a faulty baro sensor?

Sorry, can't help you there Gus, I have the 76CS but I wouldn't know
if it's correct or not. But I have seen mine say the current altitude
was 34ft too if thats any help to you. I'm sat in my chair watching
the 76CS and the total ascent was originally 37ft and in the space of
10mins it has gone up to 204ft and rising.. and I haven't moved...
