I took the reduced area specific version in geo format and thought I could just change the name to gsf and it would work and be the same. I even loaded it and told my units to use it. I have not done RTK in a while so did not really get to test it. But when I opened both files in notebook, the old file in gsf was readable in text format but the geo was in hieroglyphics (non-readable symbolic).
I suspect the reduce geo that I changed in extension name to gsf is not going to work. Does anyone have a way to convert the file into a for sure usable format I can easily transfer using my SD like I am used to. I hate to think of trying to cable transfer - always have a hard time getting those stupid com ports to work and never want to do a transfer that way again.

resume the above procedure in Manual Mode, i.e. clear the Automatic transfer
check box when Geoids displays the above dialog box. This will open the Surv-
Com window. From this window, you will be able to check the PC port settings
(cf. Options button), try again to connect to the field terminal (cf. Connect
button) and then, if the connection is successful, resume data transfer (cf.
Transfer button). In that case, the file that you would have to select in the left-
hand pane before clicking the Transfer button would be in the form
“.gsf” where is the name of the open geoid model (This file
contains the geoid data). The left-hand pane would be automatically posi-
tioned on the Temp folder where this file would have temporarily been stored.
locate this file,then copy to your sd
usually it is in "c:\users\yourpc\appdata\local\temp" directory, you have to set your folders to show hidden folders and files, congrats to your recent publication.

locate this folder then copy the file "name.gsf" to your sd card or wherever, congrats for the publication.
geoid09 desired upper left 38.239258°/-98.967784°
geoid09 desired lower right corner 33.936713°/-92.557037°
therefore the upper right would be 38.239258°/-92.557037°
and the lower left would be 33.936713°/-98.967784°
