Re: Jumping signal

If your sig and speed are jumping all over the place and you have several towers around you, as do I, then the problem really is that the device (you didn't say which one you have) is probably jumping from one pilot to another. You can watch this behavior in the DEBUG screen, if you know how to access that. If all this sounds like technobabble, just tell us what device you use and someone can point out how to view the DEBUG screen.

Having said that, I need to point out that some devices (Sierra589U for example) do a better job at discriminating between competing towers, and will lock to just one at a time, and others (like the Franklin CDU680) will consider two, three, even four different antennas as 'active pilots' which can destroy speeds quickly.
