DM42 News

We use GPS and therefore satellite communications for primary navigation. Also satellite phone for communication wth Air traffic control during polar operations and high solar activity which degrades HF. WIFI via external antenna and multiple satellite tagging would be seamless.

Back to the DM 42, must update Sunday so I can start programming. At the moment version 1 does not allow XEQ with numeric labels. I understand version 2 has fixed this.

Also noticed that the alpha period is invoked by pressing the decimal point in alpha mode, or by going to the alpha menus. It is also invoked by pressing alpha shift period. I would have thought the latter would default to comma. Again, this too is being considered. That's what beta is all about.

My case and key presses are perfect! I have a 32kb 42s with 12kb of programming so I will be uploading by keyboard to free 42s so I can port to the DM 42 later.
