I made a couple of flights yesterday with a new setup that links a PowerFLARM brick (2.79/3.1/Flarmnet loaded) to an SN10B (2.37, PDA, FLARM, 19200 selected) passing Flarm, GPS, and vario data to an Oudie2.



All worked exactly as expected EXCEPT that randomly during flight, at irregular intervals, I would get a momentary GPS dropout in the Oudie, indicated by either a PRIMARY GPS BAD followed immediately by a PRIMARY GPS OK caution on the Oudie, or more frequently just the PRIMARY GPS OK caution.


Kirk, I may be wrong here, but I'm pretty confident that it is the 2.37 SN10 software causing the issue. I have the brick and SN10 combo (no Oudie... yet) and I upgraded from 2.36 this March. I am still running the 2.4 PF brick software. I experienced the same irregular drops on every flight so far after the 2.37 upgrade. I had zero drops last year running 2.36. Quite annoying. Fortunately, I have other flight recorders for my trace. It looks like I'll be loading the 2.38 as soon as it's available.
