Seeing A LOT of these.  Edge 1040 Solar 20.19 / Varia RTL515 3.34.

    I get this every ride? What’s the point in it?

    The 0:9 errors are a product of the ever increasing use of driver aids on cars, which also have a radar component. The signals from these devices overwhelm & disrupt the signals that the Varia considers normal causing the error.

    As well as driver aids other things like radar controlled traffic signals & even motion sensors on home security systems if the emitters are pointing a bit wayward. I've even had the signals disrupted by emf interference from high voltage underground cables

    Right, but I don't need a modal warning that I manually have to clear ten times per two hour ride.  Maybe just a special beep or something?  Or just wait three seconds before showing the disconnection rather than 50ms?

    I get that part of the charm of using a Garmin Edge is that the UI looks like the controls for a Soviet-era tank.  I love that it's 2024 and they haven't implement a QWERTY keyboard yet.  I can ignore that for the most part.  But what I can't ignore is a modal warning every fifteen to thirty minutes.

    I've been screenshotting them as they occur.

    The latest 0:9s from the past week.  Still happening on the latest firmware (v20.19).

    I wish I new about this sooner... I sold my older RTL510 because I was seeing these errors! Doh Disappointed

    I keep emailing support screenshots of the error.  They still refuse to adjust the firmware to remove the modal error off the main screen.

    How do we get Garmin to listen to the users, this error code has been annoying people for more than 3 years now....the code apparently means your radar is over loaded, and then.....it still works and you having to ignore the code wouldn't unload the radar.....just run error code in a log in the back ground, we would happy share the log......I guess we need to buy another brand as money seems to be the only language companies listen to. if it were a car the warning light globe would have been taken out long ago
