REFLECTOR: GRT compass calibration

[Terry Miles]

Thanks Craig.  I got it down to about 4 or 5 degrees at present.  Next trip
to the compass rose I will bring another guy to help get me aligned better.
I gotta fix my whiskey compass too...I tried to align it to some bad info
too, so it is presently way out of whack.  Thanks for getting back.
Terry

Terry-

  John and I have same setup with GRT plus a BM G3 and whiskey compass.
It's like having three watches, you never really know what time it is, just
an average...

  We did do a cal on the GRT and got within a few degrees of the whiskey
compass at the cardinal headings using the compass rose.  BM and GRT dis
agree here and there but not by 20 degrees.

Craig
