So I have a new v3.0 Altus TeleGPS and a Telemetrum. Neither one are getting a GPS lock. They are in a clear outdoor area with the GPS chip facing the sky, no metal or obstacles around. Tried reflashing firmware with the latest (they already were). Using their battery, and it's at 4.14V right now. The TeleGPS never gets a GPS Lock, I've left it running for an hour and most I get is "0 in soln, 7 in view", usually less. The Telemetrum will get a GPS lock but only after 10 to 15 minutes, which won't be reasonable to ask the LCO to wait that long. Plus if it loses lock on ascent, no way it will relock before touchdown. The Telemetrum had the same behavior at the launch site 200 miles away, so I'm relatively sure it's not some weird interference at my house.
Anyone got any ideas? I've emailed bdale but no reply. I assume he's at LDRS or something.
