Hi All,
just got back from a pop-in to Sandown on the Isle of Wight (Fantastic airfield and the Pizza is mega) and had a problem with the Sky Echo.
As we were approaching the Airfield the SkyEcho 2 appeared to just turn itself off. We lost GPS and with some fumbling with the on button of the SkyEcho we got it back. Fortunately we wern't near any taxing airspace, and approach etc were all as per usual, but wondering if anyone else has had this kind of failure? It looked like the Echo basically just turned itself off (SkyDemon the Ipad lost its GPS fix).
I upgraded to the SkyEcho 2 as an extra bit of kit for some GPS and conspicuity, however with this outage I may go back to my pocket garmin which never let me down.
Any one else seen this behaviour before or have any solutions?
Cheers
J
