Hi,
I've recently picked up a used e120w and have connected a generic NMEA0183 gps antenna directly to the data wires in the power cable.
The unit starts up fine, picks up a satellite fix and the satellites are displayed on sky view page.
After about 30 seconds the satellites all disappear from the screen however the unit is still showing a fix.
If I disconnect one or both of the NMEA wires, the fix is lost and after a few seconds the lost fix alarm comes up on the screen.
Immediately I restore connection between the NMEA wires, the sky view shows all the satellites again, but drops out after around 30 seconds again.
Any ideas what's going on here?
Thanks
Mark
