Carl,
Sorry for the delayed response. But it's really quite simple. About
40% of the time that pairing is required, I get a message similar to
"failed to pair with Holux ...". It sometimes takes as many as 3 or 4
tries until it actually pairs. In all cases, I've instructed the pk to
search for devices. I've seen this occur on another PK running Keysoft
7 and using a Blue Logger, so it doesn't seem like it is receiver
related. Perhaps you aren't getting complaints about this problem
because the "problem" eventually gets resolved with a little patience
and persistence from the user.

Rob and List,
I need to better understand these issues as I am not receiving
complaints about this issue. I am using both the PK and mPower with
various receivers including the Holux. I have not experienced this issue
and to the best of my knowledge the BlueTooth connection should follow
the procedures I stated in the previous post.
The Sendero GPS program does not handle any of the Bluetooth
connectivity functions. All we do is examine the status. Keysoft does
all the Bluetooth pairing and connecting. There were some improvements
in Keysoft 7.0 over Keysoft 6.1 and 6.2.
I will pass these comments to Humanware and continue to test in this
area. Any comments or difficulty in this area would be appreciated. I
am sure that Humanware would be very interested in any difficulty you
are having in this area. The resolution of any problems in the
Bluetooth connectivity area will have to be in the Keysoft area. So
please advise Humanware of
these issues.
We will continue to work with our users and Humanware to assure that
this issue is being addressed. I do need your feedback and comments to
be able to address this issue effectively.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention that pairing fails about 40% of the time at
least on the pk with Keysoft and Gps versions 7.0 and 3.5, respectively.
I don't recall the exact error message, but it is similar to "failed to
pair bluetooth device." Typing 0000 isn't that difficult so I've by now
ruled out user error. It seemed to have started with Keysoft 7.

Hi,
I have the same issue with my pk. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 times to
pare the receiver with the unit and I have to do the same c 3 4 reset to
get it to work.

Hi,
My pk sometimes behaves just as you have described.
