Using LH to monitor a TBolt and notice a continuous flow of traffic between that computer and the internet. The Trimble software does not do this. Would someone educate me on why LH needs to talk to the web? Thanks. Lou Williams

Hi Are you monitoring your own local TBolt, or the default internet hosted TBolt?

The first time I fired up LH, I was very surprised to see that it thought I was in a location very far from here. I was also quite surprised to see that the temperature it was measuring was quite different from mine, and that it didn't seem to care if my TB was turned on, or off..... Then I read the instructions, and found that the LH package has a sample version that is connected over the internet to the one of the author's TB's. You have to read a little more and set up your own version for your own TB. -Chuck Harris Louis Williams wrote: > Using LH to monitor a TBolt and notice a continuous flow of traffic between that > computer and the internet.

It has caused a lot of confusion, admittedly. That's why, in the more recent releases, I changed the label on the icon to "KE5FX TBolt (Seattle, USA)." But it seems that's still not enough of a hint, because people still write me from various countries asking why their Thunderbolt's location is off by several thousand km. :) -- john, KE5FX Miles Design LLC > -----Original Message----- > From: time-nuts-bounces@febo.com [mailto:time-nuts- > bounces@febo.com] On Behalf Of Chuck Harris > Sent: Sunday, March 24, 2013 10:44 AM > To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement > Subject: Re: [time-nuts] LH web traffic > > The first time I fired up LH, I was very surprised to see that it > thought I was in a location very far from here.

Thanks to all who responded to my lack of knowledge. "When in doubt, read the directions." The screen even says what the source is if you look in the right place. Thanks again.
