Antenna is a Tallysman TW4722.

I'll try a different antenna later. If nothing else, right now I've got regular dropouts for failsafe testing...

Thanks,

Michael

It's a military computer site, which I thought would be pretty tight on stray RF, but it has antennas. I asked a friend who works there about my GPS issues and if RF from the site may be influencing things. He hesitated, then said "'Yes'. That's all I can say."
