We just upgraded all of our magnet licenses to the latest and greatest version of magnet after having to rebuild the operating system in all our FC-5000. We have checked our VRS GPS results against various benchmarks and the elevations are matching beautiful....So the data collector in GPS mode is running fine. The issue is arising when we export to TDS RAW file format (doing a straight txt export works fine).....The coordinates work, but the elevations are being risen up 100'+....like it is not computing the elevation when exported. This used to work fine, so I am thinking that I am missing a check box somewhere to get magnet to export the proper NAVD88 elevations....Any thoughts on what I am missing? I have tried a lot of different settings and can't seem to figure out which one I need.

Sounds like you're missing a Geoid.
That is what I was thinking...We loaded geoid12au0 in all the units. The units work good in the field and exporting txt files....so this seems related purely to exporting the RAW data.
Did you try using the Toggle "GPS points as SP"?
Otherwise you are exporting GPS raw data.
Do you have the same GEOID loaded for both the export and import programs?
Suggest also try exporting to SurvCE format.
