You don't happen to know where one can find the manufacture date for a
given unit, do you?

Has anyone experienced a problem with the GXM30 receiver/antenna? My 396
will stop receiving weather data (but audio is okay) after the antenna
heats up, especially when it is exposed to the heat of the sun. I called
Garmin and was told that there was a production problem with antennas in
the Oct/Nov 2005 timeframe, where thermal expansion would cause
intermittent contact inside the GXM30 and data services would stop, but
audio was unaffected.

Garmin is willing to fix my receiver for free under warranty, but they
are quoting a 7-10 working day turnaround. Not sure if this is
something that I could fix with a soldering iron or not, as I don't know
exactly what the problem is or what is required to fix it.
