When I get the "OK" notice on wifi before we've left, I'd presumed it was working... I've discovered that OK is a totally separate function from tracking. The tracking sequence does not start with an "OK" message. Since the first OK sometimes takes 20 minutes to go out, I've rejected their advice to always start with an OK. If the unit is still trying to send the OK, it won't start tracking. The LED indication for attempting to send and OK and being in tracking is the same so it's confusing. Just turn it on and hold the OK button until the LED goes off again. If you do want to send a morning "OK", you have to wait until just the ON LED is blinking, turn the unit off, and then start again to initiate tracking as described above. Too much waiting for me in the morning. When I send the evening OK, I do it just after anchoring as I'm turning other stuff off and then leave it on until just before turning in for the night when I turn it off. I've had good luck with mine on a shelf inside above a berth. I saw yours outside on the cabin top. You might try it inside. -- Roger Long |
