Rich, there ought to be a little tweaky either on the rear of the OBS
case or by removing a knob and finding a hollow shaft for a long, tiny
screwdriver. Find your appropriate ground checkpoint using (as the
fellow suggested) the AFM and tweak it in. Save yourself a few tenths of
an AMU. However, you are merely adjusting, not CALIBRATING, which
requires a certificated repair station.


Aha! Yoost like de compass, you betcha. . .

I don't suppose there's anything one can do as easily for the bearing
displayed on the digital thingy.

Thanks, Jim

"little tweaky?" "digital thingy?" Come on guys, lay off the technical
jargon and use plain English.
