>hi bruce, 

>did you mean that the distance shown on the disto display was wrong ?
Unsure, I presume the displayed distance matched the distance transmitted.
I was driving the pda - I'll check with the distoX operator, as we did have
a brief conversation along those lines when it happened.

>and that the distance transmitted to pockettopo was wrong as well ?
Yes, definitely the wrong distance - was not a units issue, as the next
readings were OK (and if I understand correctly 'units' has no effect on the
data transmitted- between them the devices can translate I think).

>were all the "wrong" values exactly the same, or just similar ?
As above, I don't know - I had assumed they would be 'identically
incorrect'.

>did it happen long ago, or recently ?
