It took me a while to figure out why I sometimes lost GPS signal. Turned out that when my com radio (KY-97) is tuned to certain frequencies the receiver local oscillator radiates a signal which blocks the GPS. I finally noticed that the GPS failed whenever I was listening to Travis 119.9 which is close to home. I moved the GPS antenna to an aluminum bracket which is attached to the rudder cable guide in the back of the fuselage. Works fine there. I have a picture if anyone wants it.
