@obhogan222 Suggest you move your sensitivity down to medium for day. and people only  Mine is on that and it just picked me up at about 20 feet. Try it and post back if it made a different.

I'm going to suggest that something might be broken and needs to be repaired/replaced.

What Captain suggests is worth it for troubleshooting but isn't acceptable as a long term solution, imo. You shouldn't have to accept that tracking everything doesn't work, that high sensitivity doesn't work, etc. Please contact support and let them work with you to try to fix or repair as needed.

Just curious, is this a new install or not? If not, has it ever worked properly? If it's new and it's never worked you absolutely should contact support asap to get it resolved.

@Captain11:  Thanks for the suggestion, but changing those settings did not make any difference.

@Worthing: New install.  Been like this the entire time.  I have taken your suggestion and contacted support.  Thanks.
