There is still a serious problem with the GT-31 and Alphas. I had two GT-31's on for testing today but I had to post my GT-11 speeds. The Alphas I got from the GT-31 were ridiculous and obviously erroneous when you look at the speed graph. One GPS said 27.980 and the other said 28.952!!!! I was pretty startled by the numbers at first glance but one look at the graph showed all sorts of strange bumps in the wrong places. I thought Tom had taken 'Smoothing' off in the newer GT-31 firmware but it certainly does not appear to be the case from these results. On the test firmware I tested with Tom recently with 'smoothing' OFF, the results were extremely good and very close to the GT-11 trackpoints with no strange bumps in the graph. These results done with the latest firmware were just plain wrong. If you are using a GT-31 for Alphas and that is all you have, the only thing I can suggest is that you use Doppler for the Alphas but that will be handicapping yourself with the current firmware. If you are serious about Alphas, please use a GT-11 and trackpoints, or even a Garmin for that.
The GT-11 gave me a new PB with 27.898 and a clean graph with no bumps like this:
The GT-31 gave me this with a very strange and false speed graph (shown here with the Doppler graph in green for comparison)
I will follow this issue up again with Tom and Locosys.
