It worked fine last time I flew but today, it was stuck on the startup
screen with 0 Satellites showing. I cycled the power a couple of times with no effect. Both my ClearNav vario and my Dell Streak were both receiving good GPS locks. The Streak reported 8 satellites. The PF Portable had been stuck on my glare shield using Dual Lok fasteners but, a few days ago I fabricated an aluminum plate to bolt the portable to and then screw the plate to the glare shield. That should make no difference, but I thought I would tell all. Being new to this, I have no idea where or how to look for faults. The PF receives switched power from the DC bus. It has 3 antennae hooked to it, and its serial port is connected to one of the inputs of a K6BT-Mux. The other input of the Mux is connected to the serial output of the CN vario. The Bluetooth radio transmits to the Dell Streak running XCSoar. On the Streak, I can monitor the interface traffic out of the Mux. I saw sentences from the Flarm and the ClearNav vario. The data stream from the CNv had good GPS information and the $PF sentences appeared to have zeros instead of position data. That would agree with the startup screen. It's my understanding that, absent a good GPS signal of its own, the PF portable should use the GPS data from the vario. Can anyone offer any advice? -- Dan, 5J |
