GPS satellite no show.

Hi all,

On my Challenger G3 system with an IBOXV2 I have a problems with the GPS not comming on line when I power up the instruments. It does not comme on line one out of 3 time, if I cycle the power it does usually comme on line but in any case I am not able to see the satellite in the GPS window. No satellite position and no satelite signal level even if I have a GPS working condition. I have tried a generic GPS antenna with an SMC connector and it is the same thing sometime it come on and some time not, I can not see any satelite position and signal level either.

When I have a GPS fix it generally stay ON but sometime it goes Off and cycling the power turn it back ON.

Sometime on power up I have this message that appears shortly on the screen, ''No sensor data available Check iBOX data feed'' the GPS might come ON but it usually goes Off just few seconds later.

Any idea what cause this problem.

Thanks
Sylvain April

I use an antenna with an SMA connector not an SMC as I said.
I check the Version of the software in the IBOX and it read ''Version 1001'', the version that I did upload was supposed to be Version 5.
I dont see a 5 in the Version number ? What should be the number after a Version 5 upload.

Thanks
Sylvain

5 in binary would be 101, now I have 1001 which is 9.

The current fimware would report itself as 1006. The leading "1" means it is a V2 ibox.
