Garmin 396 Reception Problems - Again
Its bbbbaaaaaaacccccckkkkkkk.
I thought we had the 396 reception problems solved with the unit swap and upgraded firmware. On climb out the thing lost its lock again and continued to do so until I changed course. That ain't gonna be an option on a plan in IMC (uh, center, I need to change heading 30 degrees or so to get my VFR GPS back on line...). I tried switching freqs. on the nav and com radios to avoid harmonic interference. No difference. I wonder why this cropped up after 3+ months of problem free reception??? Last time this was happening, I tried running the unit on batteries, switching the GPS antenna around, and a host of other things. Nothing helped until I upgraded the firmware on a new unit. It has been solid since then with 6+ sats near the top. Now, garbage again. Anyone else see this problem on theirs? Thanks, Mike |
