Thanks and yes - I will just not sure about timeliness of their response and was hoping someone might know. (I have a window of opportunity to buy this old beast.).
For sure the dealer is another answer and I have emailed the local one if he might have a demo unit to lend or rent, or would be willing to do an update. I would really prefer not to have to disassemble the system simply to correct the manufacturer’s software issues... however this may be the only option. For anyone interested, after doing its linearization, the software reports deviation of 181 degrees (lol - that’s wrong....). whereas when compared to both my magnetic compass and a separate gps heading the max error is 37 degrees. The mag compass and gps generally agree. Apparently a known issue with the early software, mentioned very quietly in the back pages of their tech forum. This is an evolution autopilot and the issue is with the deviation autocorrection software for the Ev-1 sensor.
