Re: [AFMUG] GPS problems around 11:30 to 1:30 every night

With mine being daylight times I was wondering about sun reflecting and
doing something odd like heating a puck causing some faulty connection to
separate, or some thermal thing

 It goes through a periodic cycle of visibility, but it's not the same

No resolution.

I started graphing the epmp satellites visible and tracked.  Visible is
always above 7 with an average of 12.44.  However the tracked dips down to
0 around 7-12 at night with an average of 6.93.

So what would make the GPS puck see the satellites but not track them?  Why
would it matter what time of day?

FWIW it's on the south side of a water tower.  There's little to no signal
from the northern sky.

Of course I'm pretty sure the tower isn't moving some weird way every
night...

how much exposure to the northern hemisphere does it have?
If I remember those antennas are fairly small

Didn't think much of it until I noticed all of the times being right 
around midnight, give or take...


WTF?  Any ideas what's causing it?

We have a couple of them that'll lose GPS signal for a couple hours pretty
much every day (I'm not sure if it's every single day or not, but it is
most days). One of them is mounted on the north side of a silo, so it have
a very poor view of the sky, especially to the south. My theory is that
because it's mounted in a bad spot it can only pick up signal at certain
times of day because of the position of the satellites.

It could also be that there's something going on at that time of day,
everyday, that's interfering.

[AFMUG] GPS problems around 11:30 to 1:30 every night

2018-04-06 Thread Josh Luthman
I have an epmp that has GPS problems and goes into the hold timer for a few
minutes every single night for the last many months (maybe even a year).

Didn't think much of it until I noticed all of the times being right around
midnight, give or take...

WTF?  Any ideas what's causing it?
