[OZAPRS] Lo/no signal from GPS sats

[Nik Presser]

G'day all on the VK APRS list, 

Thankyou all for your feedback, comments, advice, etc. 

I left Geelong around mid morning and the work truck sat in the carpark for most of the day. I kept going back out occasionally to check it and it was still all over the place until around midday. Since then it's been ok. The signal levels on all RX'd channels is also significantly better than this morning. I haven't deleted or added any extra gear in the vehicle in recent times. I did actually turn a few things off, sat back and waited for any changes. But no. I had a good look and check of all connectors, swapped out the active GPS antenna for another - same result. Went over the whole vehicle. All part of the fun... :-))

Anyway, it seems to be ok now. It's parked under a tree now and most channels still have good RX levels. Although I think I'm just out of range of any nearby digi's now. I'll have to put it down to something atmospheric I guess... 

Thanks again. 

Cheers,

Nik Presser
