Trimble SVeeSix-CM3 with Lady Heather?

Hi all,

Has anyone managed to get a Trimble SVeeSix (in TSIP mode) talking to
Lady Heather?

I hooked it all up, TSIPChat reported the unit had a position fix, but
Lady Heather is utterly refusing to show any of the graphs.

I was hoping for a satellite position chart with trails so I could get
an idea if my antenna's location is reasonable.

Failing that, I have a Motorola Oncore-UT, but it'll take a while to set
that up (I'd need to fashion a voltage level translator, antenna
connector adapter and 3V power supply).

Thanks.

Phil.

I've just got the Motorola board talking to Heather - and with much more
data on screen:

(Turns out my receiver was an M12+T, not a UT+ -- the UT+ is 5V, this is 3V)

I still have no idea why the SVeeSix-CM3 wouldn't cooperate with Heather
(I guess maybe it's just too old - or Heather wants some data which the
receiver doesn't provide).

On the plus side -- I have one receiver which works :)

Thanks,

Phil.
