Hi all,
I have read through this thread and it seems that everyone gets great signal after modification.
I too have modified and got really significant increase in signal. In GMXT I used to get only 4 to 5 bars of satellite but after mod. I got more than 7 and even full max bars on a clear sky.
However, after some time of not using gps, I recently turn on gps to have a play again and I realise the signals are back to normal again. It takes about 10 minutes to lock my position and only4 - 5 bars of satellite detected.
During first mod, I didn't peel off the antenna. I just make a cut at the middle as shown in the pics. But after the gps revert back to low signal, I peeled open the antenna thinking there still might be short circuit. I see the connection is fully cut.
I don't have a voltmeter to check whether the two electrode is still short circuit but I definitely have cut across the connection all the way.
So anyone know what is going on? I really want back the strong gps signal!!
Thanks
