Wanted to borrow - GPS aerial

Post by Nick »

I've got a Garmin 128 on Avy-J that powers up but can't find any satellites.

I would like to borrow a GPS aerial for an hour to see if it is the unit or the aerial.

Anyone got one lying around?

I have a spare Garmin 128 on the boat @JWD if you want to test the other way round. The 128 has an internal battery which can cause problems. When I cracked the screen on one of mine I was pleasantly surprised at the small cost of repair by Garmin.
