Hey Guys,
I have a 396 that works great for about 2 hours and then it drops the WX coverage(metars and Nexrad). It comes back the next day, but only for about the same 2 hours. The XM signal is strong and I can get audio, but no wx. The GPS position and mapping have been flawless. Internal battery has been replaced. Rebooting in flight has worked once, but not consistently.
I thought it might be the antenna heating up, but I have covered it from the sun with no luck - any thoughts? I have some long XC trips planned and would love to have it available for the entire trip.
