I was playing around with the calculator functions and was trying to punch un negative numbers for the temps in celsius but I was not able to do via the keypad. I could only do it by turning the right hand knob. It took quite a lot of twisting to tune in -16 C, would have been good to press a - sign on the keypad. did I overlook something?

You need to move to warmer weather <g>, or not fly in the stratosphere <gg>!

That's the temps I usually see in my TB21 at FL160 this time of the year:-o

Could you maybe type in 0 on the keyboard and then tune down from there?

I need to double check but we did include a minus sign on the external Bluetooth keyboards specifically to allow negative signed data entry. I believe that is one of the keys that got mapped in Release 10.2 software and isn't available to the public yet.

I'm on travel for the next few days so it may be Monday before I can verify that.
