I had a Garmin GDL-82 installed in my RV-9A in January. On the first couple of flights I pulled an ADS-B Performance Report and everything looked good.
This week I tried to pull a report on my latest flight just to check in on things. I got an email back saying the report could not be generated, so I pulled a flight from a few weeks ago with the same result, the report could not be generated.
So I went on FlightAware and found both flights. FlightAware is able to pull ADS-B information on the flights. But in looking closer at the two flights, I noticed that 18 minutes into both flights there was a significant gap in ADS-B data.

The install is with a Garmin GTX327 transponder.
I have DeltaPop Blade Transponder antenna.
Not sure where to start looking. It would be so much easier if it just didn't work at all.
Any ideas?
I had a repair shop do the install. I've done 5 flights since the install. Do you think it is reasonable to expect them to find and fix the problem?
Has anyone had similar problems with same equipment?
Thanks,
