Resolved: [hobbit] NCV - problems setting to GAUGE

[Charles Jones]

*sigh* I really need to stop doing this. And by "this" I mean; I will 
have a problem, and try and try to figure it out, so I give up and send 
an email about it. While waiting for a reply I poke around and figure 
out the problem. Maybe next time I should just send the email to myself :)
