<font face="Arial">I started seeing this late last night Eastern Std
Time, but it's getting more severe. Wierd branches of the track
line of K6RPT-12. You can see them here:<br>

When you see the color-coded-by-altitude path here:<br>

<br>
it's more obvious what's happening. The GPS receiver onboard is
shutting down momentarily or resetting, causing the position fix
to "hiccup" as it restarts. Additionally, it apparently is coming
back up in 2D mode, causing the apparent altitude to drop to zero
before recovering to a 3D fix with the 100,000 ft altitude
reading. <br>
<br>
(The track line is black for reported altitudes below about 10,000
feet, while the normal 100,000 foot level yields an orange-to-yellow
line.)<br>
