front lift anomaly
My C-8 front lift feature generally works great as it will lift at a programmed point at grocery stores and other destinations. Is odd that there is one anomaly. It does not work at the post office after I set it on the next trip???? I've tried it about 6 times and at the Post Office with no luck on the automatic feature. It does work normally when I select the lift function. Pure speculation...is there a security function at the USG Post Offices that disable the lift function?

Does USPS discriminate against the C8 front lift? I doubt the post office even knows what that is. Does the USPS have GPS jammers at post offices. No, that's absurd. There are more than 30,000 post offices in the US. Can you image the cost of fitting jammers at all of them? mikegr's question is the most logical answer.

I've just been referring to my manual (2021) on the front lift system. From what I read, the memory is set by the exact same command as memory is deleted, that is by using the left side of the thumbwheel doohickey...
Is it possible that you have actually pressed it enough times to both add and delete it?
I'm really guessing that you have tried everything like that and that I'm just pi$$ing in the wind here, but that's all I can come up with as a reason for it not to remember. ...
Oh well, it's not toooo burdensome to have to press the button once in while.. but I do get your consternation at it not remembering in just ONE place in the world.

One other thing. If you have a location stored and it starts to raise automatically, but you forgot it was stored and activate it manually, it will instead lower. This action does not erase it - that is done as described above - it just deactivates it.
