Quasar programming

The Keypad has large buttons with good separation making it easy to use, even while wearing gloves.

The standard telephone keypad is enhanced with a decimal button, an Up Arrow to go up a level in the program tree, a Left and Right Arrow to move through screen programming, the OK and DEL buttons for accepting and cancelling programming options.

 

The Display is a 4 line, 20 character LCD, twice as large as before. This allows for all program screens to appear on one screen, without scrolling.

The upper Right corner of the display shows the GPS status, with "0" as no connection to satellite, "1" as enough satellite reception to operate, and "2" as optimal satellite reception.

Other new features include the inside case storage area. This area will hold all the cables that come included with the instrument and any other items you want to store here. Very convenient, as it can be secured by locking the case with the lid closed. The case can also be locked so that the lid can be opened.
Quasar storage
The Quasar like all other Tinker & Rasor equipment is available from stock and ready to ship worldwide.
