Alright, guys and gals. A question for you CB wizards out there. Purchased a new CB and mirror mounted antenna for the truck, as we all know these internal factory antennas on the Cascadias are about worthless. The day after I installed everything I started getting a No GPS Signal on my Rand McNally GPS. It would freeze up for awhile and then reaquire the signal. Did this regularly throughout the day. Thought maybe the GPS was taking a dump so I bought a new one.
Same model GPS as the old one, and after putting it on the windshield, it started doing the same thing. Started thinking it could be the coax I installed so I switched my CB back to the factory installed coax.
Am I looking at a coax issue or an antenna ground issue here? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

wow ...RF floating caused GPS receiving problems. as far as I know many US tactical cruise missiles are using GPS to hit targets. GearJammer try to sell your new purchased CB to senator McCain or Pentagon's researchers.

I have seen wiring harnesses with the Collision Avoidance system, Tire Monitoring systems, Dash Cams, RF Transmitters (kind to hook a device to your radio), CB mounting all interfere with a GPS device. 99.999% of the time it is grounding on the other device.GearJammer0224 Thanks this. -

the problem comes from CB I guess. We had a truck with eaton vorad installed and no gps was working around that truck in radius of 12-15 feet. replace the cb and not the RM gps and try it.Last edited: Aug 27, 2017

Is anything close to the GPS? Move all non GPS wires away and provide 6" of clearance from other electronics.
If my Bluetooth earpiece is charging and gets within 3" of my GPS it will lose the signal until I move it farther away.

A couple of nights ago around 3am from the west side of El Paso (I-10 & Loop 375) to the east side (I-10 & Loop 375), I had no gps signal. Signal came back just as I passed the loop. Then somewhere between El.Paso and the Border Patrol check point, gps had no signal for a couple of minutes. No clue what cause it, but it was weird. Hasn't done it since.
