I figured it was the remote or its location, even though my last 2 GPS
antennas were placed there with zero loss of signal - ever.

But, I disconnected the remote and put on the stubby (you have to remove
the power plug - another not so great design idea). It still failed in
exactly the same way. So, a different antenna and different location did
not solve the problem.

I don't have enough data yet to make the case for a DOA exchange. Since
the weather today is blotto, I will have to test tomorrow morning or
during the week.

Thanks,

I'm thinking this unit has an internal antenna connection defect.


Or it could be RF interference from some source in the airplane: the
symptoms sound like it. This is exactly what one of my Cessna ARC-385
radios used to do to my portable GPS. Try tuurning off all emitting devices
one at a time the next time it happens. As a last resort, try turning off
the master. You might also try a new location for the remote antenna.


I just wish it were a complete failure instead of this intermittent crap.


Amen. I hate gremlins.
