FLARM - No GPS

I was having problems, redid firware, flarmcfg, nothing worked until I saw this and reset (obviously you have to redo firmware etc after reset. Works a treat now. Also did this for a club glider and it fixed that too. Going to do it every winter. Dan 2D still expect it is the antenna |

FLARM - No GPS
I'll give it a shot, Dan. Lord knows, I've tried everything else.
Currently it's sitting out in my driveway in a zip-lock bag (since it's snowing) and has fresh alkaline batteries installed. It has the original CFG file and has been running for about 10 minutes with zero satellites found. I believe it's the antenna, but will try your suggestion in another 10 minutes...

Well, nothing has worked. Here's the GPS applicable stuff from the
