Title: Platinum GPS on flexi port weak
Post by: balbs on April 03, 2016, 12:03:50 am

Hello,

I'm running my FrSky X4R RX on the main port for S.BUS so I have the Platinum GPS on the flexi port. The problem is that I can't get a fix when the GPS is connected to the flexi port. I get a message that it sees <7 satellites. However, If I connect it to the Main port, I get a fix almost immediately. Any tips?

Put your X4R away from GPS.

Frsky receivers are noisy and can cause trouble.

3 big spikes comes from receiver.

In this case I don't think the FrSky has anything to do with it since I don't have the RX connected when doing the comparison test.
