Hello
I cannot get my Garmin GPS-20A to find a GPS signal in my RV7 build. I have taken the fuselage outside with a clear view to the sky (GA35 mounted on the top of the rear turtle deck externally) and tried orientating the aircraft in 2 different orientations 90deg to each other while leaving it for about 5 minutes to try and establish a signal. What I end with the Unit Status LED solid Green, and the GPS Status LED slow flashing Green. The screen on the G3X is shown in the attached photo. Is there some trouble shooting steps I can try? Also are the GPS-20A units compatible world wide? ie If I had an American supplied unit (not sure if this is the case as I ordered through the local Garmin dealer here) would it function perfectly well in New Zealand ... ie frequencies the same etc?
