with all due respect to Strother Martin in Coll Hand Luke, what we have here is an ability to communicate!!! first, ipad - wifi - works just fine either synscan or synscan pro second, laptop - my laptop runs comm 3,4,and 5 through the one usb port. what i did was change the setting in synscan pro for 3 to 4 to 5 - and when i got to 5 it was happy and working nicely now all i need to do is learn how to use the programs. quick question - is the a home button and where is it - one that bring the gti back where it started. this is a good forum, glad to be a part of it and thank all for your help don

thanks for the inputs 1. prefer cable over wifi as it 'seems' more reliable as wifi signal can be lost. however when i used wifi in the house it seemed to work just fine 2. did a check both laptop and synscan pro are on comm3 and comm 4 3. i am using a power adapter for both the gti and the ipad - plan to use power from my 2016 ford 150 120v/400w outlet.

i know there is a thread somewhere on the forum - this is just faster New user of star adventure gti – in fact still testing it out in the house. My first attempt to connect was using my hp spectre laptop running windows 11 and using the supplied usb-printer cable and the synscan pro app. Except for one instance where it said that I needed to enter location first, the software did not connect to the gti saying no device could be found. I then tried to connect via wifi using my iPad Air 2. I was able to download from the apple app store both synscan and synscan pro apps. When I attempted to connect using synscan pro I once again was told nothing could be found. However, when I then used synscan the gti connected and seems to be working. The instructions that came with the gti said I should look for wifi called synscan**** but what I found was Mount_8b5d. I have now gone back and cannot find a synscan app for my windows spectre laptop. So there are questions 1. My preference would be the ipad air 2 in the field but I would like ‘hard wired’ rather than wifi – would the usb/printer cable work or will I run into the same problem? 2. Why does synscan pro not work on the gti? 3. Is there an advantage to get the hand controller or is synscan better appreciate any thoughts and guidance thanks don

Love it! will take the tape off of my vcr flashing 12:00 and put it on the gti

Just got the GTI and I like it. I have tried external power and batteries and every time I turn on the power the red light flashes I thought this was for low power or low batteries. When you first turn on the GTI, what does the flashing red light mean and how do you stop it?
