Hi Tom: It very well may be a wet connector (but they all are filled with Lube Gel silicon grease). Yes the DC coupled setting was lost when the SR620 browned out, but the trigger levels are set by knobs and are not lost. For a day or two after the brown out all appeared to be working fine. The

Brooke, Check for a wet connector or cable at the GPS antenna. Check your SR620 settings. They are lost when you power cycle, yes? The jitter sounds more like an input trigger issue than GPS signal & rain issue. We get rain here all the time... It certainly doesn't cause the magnitude of what yo

Hi: The antenna is on a mast about 6 feet above a chimney top. There are a number of surrounding 100 foot trees and this caused a lot of jitter last year due to multipath. I fixed that by changing the elevation mast to 50 degrees and that's where it is now. Changing the elevation mask to 7

Brooke, GPS is affected by heavy rain. Signal will be attenuated, and some at low elevations may be blocked. Snow is even a worse culprit especially if it settles on the antenna. Do you have antenna mounted in the clear or do you have any partial obscuration from buildings or trees (especially we

Hi: After Tom helped me a month ago to get the trigger level correct for 50 Ohm loaded TTL (1.25 volts), I've been seeing no aging on the FTS4060 s/n 1013 and have been tweaking the C field and all was going well, but today (heavy rain) the jitter on each 500 second average has jumped up from a
