Well, nothing has worked. Here's the GPS applicable stuff from the
latest log file:

That looks to me like the GPS is working, but no satellites are being
found. Looks like I'll be sending it in...

Thanks to everyone who tried to help.

I'll give it a shot, Dan. Lord knows, I've tried everything else.

Currently it's sitting out in my driveway in a zip-lock bag (since
it's snowing) and has fresh alkaline batteries installed. It has the
original CFG file and has been running for about 10 minutes with zero
satellites found. I believe it's the antenna, but will try your
suggestion in another 10 minutes...

No batteries were installed during use with external power connected
since the manual stated that alkaline batteries could leak with
external
power connected and I don't have any rechargeables which are in decent
condition.

My wife compared the log file generated when the unit was working to
the
log file generated after the unit failed and she found what looks like
some unexplained differences. I'm going back to square one to generate
a new FLARMcfg.TXT file and will try again with fresh batteries
installed since I'm at home and don't have access to external power.

I'll report back what I find...

Thanks, Tim, but I don't think so. I was shutting down the unit with
the knob when those lines were written. When I have it externally
powered for an hour it still does not receive satellites. And thanks
for taking the time to review the log.

Did you have internal batteries installed during this externally
powered
trial? If so, what type were they?

Hi Dan. You might also want to reset the thing from scratch. See
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/rec.aviation.soaring/luke$20reset%7Csort:relevance/rec.aviation.soaring/hYQ8WNFITbA/Hzx35EMpDQAJ
, in particular Luke's Aug 1 post.

I was having problems, redid firware, flarmcfg, nothing worked until
I saw this and reset (obviously you have to redo firmware etc after
reset. Works a treat now. Also did this for a club glider and it
fixed that too. Going to do it every winter.

still expect it is the antenna
