Another exceedingly helpful thought. I'll certainly give it a try.



AHA! Now we're getting somewhere!

Put the radar in standby and see if the position jumping stops....

Move the GPS off the arch and just sit it on the helm away from
everything for a test trip. (Any excuse to go boating is greeeeeeat.)

My bet is the jumping stops when you shut off the radar transmitter
trashing it.

GPS has no need of altitude. Both ours are in a cabinet over the galley
sink inside the boat with clear RF view of the sky. It only moves when
USAF C-17 fly over us...the aluminum cloud.

Lets get the GPS away from the radar noise source.
