[amsat-bb] Interference source to GPS receivers

["Alan P. Biddle" <APBIDDLE@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I recently received a recall notice on a Radio Shack powered omni
directional TV antenna.  It is intended for RV or low profile use.  It seems
that early versions can interfere with GPS receivers.  I can verify that!

So if you have poor GPS reception, or recently deteriorated reception, take
a look around for a horizontal white disk, about 2' in diameter, mounted on
a pole or mask.  Free fix, but you need to send in the antenna for repair,.
