Re: 600E Temp Operating Range

If it beeped, it was almost certainly working. I did almost the exact same thing the first time I tried it outside in the daylight. The only difference was that I was in my backyard and I had another

Re: 600E Temp Operating Range

Can I run 2 guider cables into the GT03 ?
