    998/798

    I know these are old but both just cracked out on me. They are both losing GPS after ten minutes. Pulled the network cable and it still happens. Connections are all good so I'm at a lose as tmuch what's up.

    Any ideas to trouble shoot?

    Typically GPS issues are due to low power.

    Display the Voltage readout on both and see with the units are seeing.

    My 798 just lost GPS last week also. My voltage is around high 13's while idling around.
