Help!!!!
Have tried all the remedies on the forum for connecting my new BT-338 to TTN5 (38400 baud rate, other wired etc) but all to no avail. The GPS and 4700 are paired correctly and when TTN5 is started, the blue light flashes quickly and the green light flashes as well. When you go back to TTN5 the screen shows no GPS device. I have an iPAQ 3870 running TTN3 and the 338 happily connects. Also I have had lengthy emails with TT support but they still have no answer to the problem. Any ideas? |

Try ingnoring the Other BT Device and select Serial device and then enter the Com port and Baud rate that the BT-338 is talking the IPAQ on.
