Anyone seen this before?
My GTN650 has started just randomly losing satellites, and dropping position. Usually pulling the breaker and cycling the power will get it back. Yesterday it took several minutes to acquire. The satellite status page will just be grey bars going up and down, every now and then one will turn green then go away. Then, like it's had some stroke of brilliance they'll all light up and turn blue and I'm off. Then sometime later my Skyview will announce GPS1 FAIL and we're at it again.
At first I thought there may be interference but the antenna is located right next to the skyview antenna and the dynon holds 9 satellites while the Garmin is struggling.
This is a new development in the last few flights. Pretty sad if this $10K piece of gear is failing at 100 hours.
Thoughts?
