 +Sam Holmes had trouble with one of these, but maybe that was just the bluetooth on the bluetooth version? Not sure, would need to check videos / ask him.

 +Ultrasonic_Portable_User_Manual_EN.pdf:
 +
 +The application areas page says it can be used for wind power, agriculture, cranes, and security, but the warranty section says leisure use only.
 +
 +What happen if my unit gets blocked?
 +The ULTRASONIC PORTABLE restarts after 10 minutes
 +thanks to the system called “watchdog”.
 +You simply have to reset the application again and it will
 +work again correctly.
 +
 + Well…….to follow up I’ve abandoned the calypso system. The first nmea connect plus I purchased was DOA coupled with no interest in supporting it from anyone. The second nmea connect plus I purchased had an effective range of roughly 2’ even though the published specs put the Bluetooth range at 50 meters in free space.
