The feds were doing something to mess up the gps satellites that started from January 22 and was supposed to go through March 1st, but I think it was over early. I've got two cf units, the only one that could fix was my fortuna dual mode in xt mode, the ST mode on that one and my holux gm270 didn't work at all. I wasn't having a problems with the unit being found but it couldn't get or keep a fix at all. You can find NOTAM advisories about gps disruptions on the FAA site (just google FAA notam's you'll go right to the page). You need your local airport three letter identifier or you can also go to a different link that will bring up all gps NOTAM advisories. The two I found in Florida were Jacksonville and Miami so that pretty much covered the whole state. Drove me nuts too.
