Well from my reading I think I have a defective antenna. I have been flying for over a year now and all was good until a few weeks ago when I lost all satellites on my 430W this seemed to be isolated but now it occurs more often.
Now when I loose the 430W I loose the 496 as well, all satellites show no signal then after a while it will come back. Yesterday the they went out and did not come back until I started the descent. Oddly the GDL39 still pushed good position data to my iPad Mini.
From reading it seems there was a bad batch of these antenna and some internal circuit board delaminates and can cause these symptoms. Anyone have any experience with dealing with this with Garmin? I want to get any info I can before I start the process.
Cheers
