I understand why people were dis-satisfied with the sight and ATN also. I like the sight for my purposes and haven't missed a fox between 65 yards and 210 in the last 2 months. It helps that my Weihrauch rifle is shooting 3/4" groups off my hunting rest too.

The I took it up to the farm, was using a normal spotlight with another rifle most of the night, the decided, ok, lets give the ATN a run. Failed, white-out. Frozen. Decided it needed a firmware update all on its own. Did the update, gained my uni tech degree in the process, and continued on. Didn't have much call to use it until the other day/night down at Springvale where we were invited to bring our night vision gear for the cpm qualificiation. Qualified with the normal scope while there was enough daylight. Was getting dark so, out with the ATN. Failed. After getting it ready all day, getting re-acquainted etc, set it on the rifle, turn it on, white out. Another self imposed firmware update needed. Went home, ran the process, updated the scope, fine. Started running through the programs and settings. Failed. Frozen again, Got a new SD card, did it all again. Started looking good, Failed, Frozen. Its too big for a paper-weight and too light for a door stop.
I have written a War and Peace paper to ATN. See what happens.

Right up until I tried to set the date and time. How far can YOU throw one of these? Held the on/off down and it turned off. Left it for a minute or tow, turned it back on...white screen of "I'm really getting tired of this manure" is all I got again...Do we even have an ATN Rep in AUS?

I will try once more with a brand new, never used, sd card, take a panadol, follow the instructions to the letter, and then bury it in a post hole when I erect the fence around around the spa.

That's good to know. Hopefully the technician will be able to help you.
