Hello fellow time nuts,

after the thunderbolt roll over problem I run the survey control in Lady
Heather (48h).
Since then I am getting always a wrong elevation number for my qth.
Does anybody know the reason for that behavior?
Is there a solution to get again the correct value?

Kind regards

Arnold, DK2WT

Remember that GPS normally displays altitude with respect to the WGS84 datum
geoid, not with respect to MSL.  There can easily be a hundred feet or so of
difference.
