[aprssig] Garmin GPS-30

They have weak receivers compared to todays units. Have one also. Takes  
forever to find the salelite. Let them run for at least 30 minutes if not used 
 for a while.

The  Garmin GPS-30 is an exterior cigarette pack sized rectangular
streamlined  GPS Antenna unit.

Found two of them in my junk drawer from a decade  ago.

Been on for an hour.  No fix.  Manual gives no  hints.  Says it should 
search
the sky.

Maybe something changed  in 10 years and they will never work again?

Anyone have experience with  these?
