Actually I was driving, but it was a Garmin nuvi. This was a very strange
case of "intermittent reception," if that's was it was. As I said in the
original post, I had the satellite position/strength page up for that trip,
and there was *no* signal from any of the satellites. Then, *poof* there
they were. I have never had that happen before, with that unit or the 295 I
use in the air. I've read a number of posts about loss of reception with
Garmin units, but I've never had it happen after 4 years of use. I use the
standard yoke mount and just the internal antenna.

Pax River advertises that they mess with the signal, so somebody's working
on it.

You are flying a Garmin, right? Seems lots of folks have intermittent
reception issues with those. Google 396 reception or similar and see what
you come up with...
