While torturing a flux gate compass kit with a REALLY strong magnet
(within 1 or 2 inches of the Dinsmore fluxgate device), I managed to
change its idea of north to east (it points east now). 

I could have magnetized ferrous parts on the pc board and in the case
of the battery, but is there any other way I could have damaged the
flux gate device? Does it have a bias field that it must maintain that
I could have buggered with a very strong field?

I do read this group, so post or mail, depending on your extroversion
quotient. thanks.
