Reach Firmware 26 Update: Legacy RTCM3 Messages and NMEA Output Settings

After updating to Firmware 26, using ReachView 3, anyone else having Bluetooth connection issues with a Trimble Nomad 6G handheld data collector? Worked fine before the update.

In ReachView, the MAC address shows, and shows a very quick connect during pairing… and the Nomad says it connected during so… but after that, the Nomad will not connect again.

Works fine with my (2) Surface PCS and a desktop workstation.

Could be very well something of my own, but figured I’d ask just in case as I have exhausted every option that I have control over.

EDIT: after some more searching, found this:

I did not have BT enabled in the Position Output. I had mistaken disabled it.

It now connects while in FieldGenius9. But for some odd reason, in the Windows 6.1 OS on the handheld, it shows BT is disconnected, yet its connected during FieldGenius use. Seems it used to state connected either way before. At least it’s staying connected now… took forever to figure out.
