I recall that the newer pucks helped some, but weren't the final fix.  And yes, we set the holdover to 5 minutes now, so thanks for bringing that up.

There was an issue with the previous version of GPS antennas, that came with early EPMP1000's.  If the GPS antennas you are using are the ones that came with an E2K then you should have the newer model though.  In any case way back when there was an issue that the old antennas had in high noise environments.  We experienced that first hand.  We haven't see the issue since replacing the GPS antennas though.  I think we still have the holdover timer set pretty high though which might help you in a pinch until a real resolution is found.

    I agree, but we graph the tracked/visible satellites on all APs,
    and these ones would have, say 10 tracked, and then 0 for hours,
    then 10.  It was hardly ever a gradual change.  We were convinced
    it was firmware, or a bad GPS receiver, or puck, etc. and went
    down every road we could think of, because it seemed like it had
    to be one of those.  Out of the 4-5 sites we had with this
    behavior, every one was permanently solved by pointing the pucks
    up, and I think all of them were in close proximity to a cell tower.

    No satellites doesn't sound like poor signal to me.

        We fought with losing GPS sync on ePMP APs at a couple of
        sites.  We had been told to point the pucks south to get the
        best GPS signal.  There were several wild goose chases, as it
        seemed upgrading/downgrading firmware fixed it, but only
        sometimes.  In the end, the solution at each of these sites
        was to point the GPS puck straight up.  Our best guess was
        that there was something overloading the GPS receiver in the
        direction we had them pointed.  So pointing them up, while
        not giving them the best signal, minimized terrestrial
        interference.  At least that's our theory.

        Well, I did check the forums and found I'm not the only one.
        I'm going to try downgrading. Was hoping to find someone
        here who has gone through it so I dont waste time if it
        needs to be RMA'd :)

            It worked before, upgraded from 3.5.1, no more :(
