John,

I always have the WIFI turned off in the cockpit.  I have the WXWORX, fixed GPS antenna and the Holux GPS side by side on a platform at the roof behind the rollover structure.  The GPSs both work normal.  The NAV antenna is nearby but the COMM antenna is far away in the vertical stab.

I will test alternately with the WXWORX, Holux, and both turned off.  Was the "interference" you mentioned squelch breaking or something else?

Tom -

We are not flying yet so I can't say we have or have no interference from the WxWorx/tablet/blue tooth system.

Sounds like a real mystery to me. Does your tablet have a receiver for a wireless netwoork? Might turn that off first. Also, is it the WxWorx receiver or a blue tooth gps antenna/receiver?

I did fly with a friend in a 182 and took the system along. We had the WxWorx antenna near one of his other antennas and we got some interference. We moved the antenna to the windscreen near the BT gps and it went away.

Keep us posted. Sounds like the gremlins may be common to all of our airplanes.
