So absolutely funny today and this thread. I now have 8 GPS rcvrs austrons, odetics, HP etc I just built a sleezy 1 X 8 splitter using Home depot 2.5 Ghz splitters. Have been doing this for years but with a 4 X. This issue exactly bit me. I put all the rcvrs online last night. One was acting goofy. Thought, well its old will have to troubleshoot it. Nope a 330 ohm to ground on a BNC T fixed it right up. Guess I should take my own suggestion some times. :-) Regards Paul WB8TSL
