No batteries were installed during use with external power connected

My wife compared the log file generated when the unit was working to the
log file generated after the unit failed and she found what looks like
some unexplained differences. I'm going back to square one to generate
a new FLARMcfg.TXT file and will try again with fresh batteries
installed since I'm at home and don't have access to external power.

I'll report back what I find...

Thanks, Tim, but I don't think so. I was shutting down the unit with
the knob when those lines were written. When I have it externally
powered for an hour it still does not receive satellites. And thanks
for taking the time to review the log.

Did you have internal batteries installed during this externally powered
trial? If so, what type were they?

Hi Dan. You might also want to reset the thing from scratch. See
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/rec.aviation.soaring/luke$20reset%7Csort:relevance/rec.aviation.soaring/hYQ8WNFITbA/Hzx35EMpDQAJ , in particular Luke's Aug 1 post.

I was having problems, redid firware, flarmcfg, nothing worked until I saw this and reset (obviously you have to redo firmware etc after reset. Works a treat now. Also did this for a club glider and it fixed that too. Going to do it every winter.
