Sounds like a better antenna and location might be the trick. You don't say
how high what coax length and type...
Since you do not have a manual you sat mask angles may also be causing an
issue by eliminating possible sats.
But weak signals will do exactly what you see 2 d fixes and an occasional 3.
Thas a pretty good clue.

Well, it didn't last long :(
Had the chance to try the antenna in a better spot, higher up with more
view of the sky.
Ran it for about an hour, initially OK - took a while to get a fix but
got a signal from 5 or 6 satellites, more 3D lock but still mostly 2D
and "coarse" oscillator control. I was waiting to see if the oscillator
lock did drop into "fine" but reading the manual that might take a while
from first switch on.
Went off to do some other stuff then came back to find it just in a loop
resetting itself, running for a few seconds, then resetting itself again.
It had also clearly forgotten it's idea of the current time as it now
reports a UTC time of just a few minutes past midnight 1/1/99.
Does anyone know if there is there any common fault or operating problem
that would make it do this?
