Just checking ours. I thought it happened once every month or two, but I guess it's not even that often. The snapshot from the last 3 months indicate that it got close to losing it in week 12, but it seems to have lived through it, even though it got down to 3 satellites tracked. bp On 4/6/2

We have this at a couple sites each year.  Usually, I can mount the GPS antenna in a different place and solve the issue.  Whats interesting is, I don't see this issue with the SyncBoxes, only CMM Micro.  And I have both at the same towers affected. On 4/6/2018 4:39 PM, Bill Prince wrote: We

We have a SyncInjector mounted on the south side of a concrete building. The building is thick concrete ( > 12"),  and extends up above the location of the GPS antenna 30 or 40 feet. The building is also a shallow "V" shape with the GPS antenna at inside base of the V. So the GPS antenna gets a

But the question is, why at the same time every day? Especially since the gps satellites don't orbit on a 24 hour period... that's what has me troubled with my customer. On Fri, Apr 6, 2018, 2:11 PM Bill Prince wrote: > Exposure to the north or south should not make a significant difference.

Exposure to the north or south should not make a significant difference. GPS satellites, excepting the WAAS satellites, are not in geostationary orbits. They are (mostly?) in medium earth orbit of around 12,000 miles. I think it may be more of how much of the sky they can see. bp On 4/6/2018

My rule of thumb is >50% = upgrade. I wouldn't argue with 25% either. We see a % CPU usage which updates every second. I don't know if it's a 1 second average, or a rolling 5 second average, or whatever. Either way there could be milliseconds within that average where all CPU time is occupie

We have a couple of them that'll lose GPS signal for a couple hours pretty much every day (I'm not sure if it's every single day or not, but it is most days). One of them is mounted on the north side of a silo, so it have a very poor view of the sky, especially to the south. My theory is that becau
