FreeFlight ADS-B In/Out Issue

[MooneyMunnerlyn]

Hey All, 

I have a FreeFlight FDL-978-XVR, and have flown hundreds of hours with no issue. But this past flight I got a “GPS FAULT” message from it and I couldn’t get good position info from it on ForeFlight. Yes I’ve tried turning it on and off many times. I was wondering if anyone has suggestions, I have left a message with FreeFlight. Thanks!

It could be as simple as a loose connector at either the FreeFlight or the GPS end.  

Next could be a pin the finally vibrated out or the FreeFlight actually failed.  The loose connector you should be able to check yourself.  After that I'm guessing a avionics shop is in your future.  

I guess one other thought would be if you can install any kind of Software updates to the FreeFlight.  Even if it's the same SW version, just reloading it might resolve the issue.  But again, I'm guessing that too is a shop item.
