Default Model 20 GPS's stopped working this last weekend

I witnessed something pretty strange this last weekend several Cambridge Model 20 GPS stopped working. I have used it for years connected to my SN10b with zero problems. This last weekend I saw on the SN10 display, no GPS signal in the last 10 seconds over and over. Indeed it wasn't updating. I had a spare and another glider had a Model 20 that also stopped working in their glider. Has there been some type of change to the GPS signals being sent from the satellites?

This was very strange?

I expected wrong dates (from wrong GPS epoch beginning 7-April-2019),
but you still should get *something* out of the model 20.
Make sure you're running SN10 firmware version 2.45:

What were the other model 20's connected to?

Anyway, its time to upgrade to a PowerFLARM and retire the '20!
