Tom -

What tablet PC did you get? I bought the package from IMAC @ Sun N Fun  
with the Motion 1400. Awsome machine.

I have a problem with the WxWorx receiver power. The plug that goes into  
the receiver  seems not to seat very well because when you pick it up to  
move it, the receiver goes dead. Anything like this happen with the Radio  
Shack power brick?

Another problem seems to be the Blue Tooth connection from the receiver to  
the tablet - it disconnects from time to time and does not seem to connect  
reliably the first time. Sometimes, I have to turn off everything and then  
re-boot the receiver, then turn on the tablet. The GPS antenna and Blue  
Tooth seem to connect much better - but not perfectly. It seems that the  
closer the tablet is to the WXWorx receiver, the harder it is to connect.  
Might be WxWorx's implementation of Blue Tooth.

However - when it is connected and the GPS overlay is on, the combo is  
awesome. We are not flying yet, but I've tested in a couple of friends'  
aircraft. Have just subscribed to the Aviator Light for the time being and  
what I miss with this package is the frontal/hi/low depictions on the map.

Anyone else out there with similar packages? Sure would be nice to get a  
discussion going on common problems.

Cheers,

John
