[Loadstone] Holux data cable

[Rob Melchers]

Hi Aeden,

With the clamp lifted from the internal nbattery your receiver went back to 
factory settings. No way it will remember the trip you took it on. Best 
wait for the cable to arrive and give it another shot. BTW, almanacs aren't 
that important, they provide a means to find sats, but even without an 
almanac your receiver will receive ephemirus data that is transmitted every 
30 seconds. This data is valid for at least 4 hours, so the receiver knows 
where it is by calculating the distance to the sats. On my AD750 receiver 
the baudrates caused no problem, but since SN was turned off anyway I 
didn't need to make any adjustments. I still think it's funny that even the 
newer Holux's still show this behaviour of SN at 5 km. The latest rumors 
were that they had turned it off. Wish you good luck on your next try.

Rob
