Tbolt E and Lady Heather satellite data

Hi all!It's been a while, boy do I have some catching up to do...
Purchased a Thunderbolt E and in setting up Lady Heather for it, there seems no way to display data from all 12 satellite channels.  9 is the maximum that will display, regardless of screen resolution setting.  Am I missing something obvious?
As a side note, I will now be selling a "normal" Trimble Thunderbolt GPSDO, and a True Position GPSDO.  Both work fine, they've simply been replaced.  I'm not really sure what to ask for the True Position.  Holdover seemed to be more stable than the Tbolt but I don't have data to support this.

Hi

By far the coolest part about the “normal” TBolt is the extensive work done diving into it
by a whole bunch of folks on the list. Lady Heather support is one example of this.

Unlike most GPSDO’s, the TBolt from the “turn of the century” allows you to modify the
control loop parameters. You can (and folks very much do) optimize it for whatever
sort of stability goal you happen to have. That said, an OCXO can only get you just
so far. A Rb based GPSDO is going to win in certain use cases.
