If you could get (borrow) another antenna you might discover it is – or - is 
not related to the FM antenna.

We are about 120ft up on a highrise. Mounting options/locations are limited. We 
plan to move it opposite of the FM antenna and 900mhz noise.

  You could temporarily move the antenna.  Run a temp cable from the CMM4 out 
to the parking lot or some thing and see if the problem goes away.

  We have a site where we see unusual GPS issues. I've been graphing the CMM4 
and it visually sees between 10-15 satellites consistently. However, tracked 
satellites will go from 8-10 and drop to zero for hours at a time, then fully 
recover. This happens randomly a few times a week. It's gotten worse over the 
past month. 

  See attached. If you notice, there is an FM antenna right next to our 
equipment. We have occasional ethernet related issue as well. This tends to get 
worse when it rains, but overall hasn't been a major issue.

  Could our GPS issues be related to the FM station? We plan on moving the GPS 
antenna to another location next week. Has anyone seen anything like this 
before?
