Good luck on solving your power issue. One idea that just occurred to me to prevent the split center pin loosing contact on the CP-3 controllers, is to cut a small piece of elastic band and carefully

Marj The secure server doesn't seem to have Ver 4.19.2 on it. Don Anderson

Marj Check with George regarding how we got mine to work. I had to hit the keypad reset several times to get the Auto connect menu item to work after I finished the second firmware upgrade attempt. On

That's what I had to do. I also had to reload the object database since it got corrupted somehow. I just finished that and all seems to be working. George said the only way the database can get corrup

Sounds like the problem I had. Did you try a keypad reset? Don Anderson From: "siriosirius@... [ap-gto]" To: ap-gto@... Sent: Tuesday, January 19, 2016 12:54 PM Subject: [ap-gto] Key

I deleted the old updater, downloaded and installed the Ver 4.19 with a refreshed downloader. The new update went ok except that because of the previous corrupt update, I couldn't set the keypad in "A

Will do. I just talked to George and that is what he suggested. Don Anderson

Ok. I was just going to call you to discuss. I will try that. I am using a single port Keyspan that has worked well since I got it in 2009. I will try a reload and let you know how I make out. Hears h

Marj I downloaded and completed the upgrade to Ver 4.19. The upgrade went as per the instructions however something must have been corrupted during the process although all of the pop up windows and s

Mine is a 2009 AP900 and after a couple of years the RA gear box started making a tic tic tic sound when slewing in one direction only. I cleaned and regreased the spur gears and the sound reduced con

Bob I bought mine from Monoprice (product # MC-UEC20M1). They offered a 100' (30M) version but I only went with the 20M version. Again, it has worked well for 3+ years. Don Anderson

We all wish! :-) Oh and by the way, not too cold. Don Anderson

Likewise also. I use a 65' powered usb2 cable from my laptop to a cheap powered 7 port usb2 hub at the mount. From there, I run my AP900 mount via a Keyspan 19HS single port USB to Serial converter, S

Suresh At 16000 ft how did you stay conscious let alone be able to concentrate on polar aligning a mount! :-) Don Anderson

Yes. Any software/firmware problems have always been taken care of promptly by AP & Ray. No need to feel bad about this. Don Anderson

Greg You can sync the keypad date/time with the computer time/date by going into "setup" in the keypad and selecting date/time/get time and location from mount. This will load the latest date/time dat

Philippe Check out the posts on the group site. Roland has already answered your question. The bug only affects the keypad not the Ascom driver. Don Anderson

Roland Does the problem exist for any date in 2016 or just for 01/01/2016? Don Anderson

That type of behavior is probably due to the wrong date/time/location info being sent to the servo controller. Somehow you are telling the servo that the CW is the scope and the scope is the CW. Some

Greg I replaced mine this spring without losing the database or leaving the power on while replacing the battery. Just pry the old battery out of the holder, while leaving it plugged in, install the n
