Frozen SynScan Handset
in Discussions - Scopes / Whole setups

Yes ... had a problem with my SynScan handset last night. I was trying to access the Tracking menu when suddenly the handset froze ... quite literally (nothing to do with the -3C temperature last night).
The read out seemed to be 'stuck' in the enter the Date prompt. What was really bizarre was that the mount was slewing the OTA around the RA axis, all 360 degrees!! Tried to stop the slewing but there was no response from any of the keys including the Esc key. I had to power off the mount to stop the slewing.
When I powered up again, I got the 'Initializing' message, then the FW version (3.27) ... then nothing again ... no response from any button on the handset ... nothing. Switched it off again and left it for a while. Came back, switched on and everything was working again. I could use the keys and enter details.
Very bizarre ...
Just wondering if anyone else had a similar problem?
Thanks
Pete
