Hi,

exactly the same behavior as on my previous video already uploaded to your server. Green, red, green, red, etc. "All systems" seems to be OK.

Hi,

exactly the same behavior in "GPS ONLY" mode on FW 14.13 and GPS 2.37 as on my previous video already uploaded to your server. Green, red, green, red, etc. "ALL SYSTEMS" seems to be OK.
