E320 GPS staying locked?

Has anyone had issues with the E320 GPS locking or staying locked? I have a LabSat GNSS simulator that I am reliably able to get a E310, X310, and even a N310 to lock to however the E320 I just got will occasionally lock and then fall out almost immediately. I used mender to up it to 3.15LTS and everything else works pretty well. I run the e320bist on the gpsdo and it reports it mostly being unlocked but occasionally it will lock for a minute or so. When it does lock I can run the query gpsdo immediately after and it will report locked but again it only lasts for a min or so.

Thanks
Jeff

Hey Jeff,

What type of GPS antenna are you using? 3.3V or 5V? If it's compatible with
X310 & other USRPs, I would imagine you'll be good to go with the E320...
Do you see the locked / unlocked status change between consecutive runs of
something like gpsmon on the E320?

There were some early-ish runs of the E320 that are eligible for a GPSDO
rework, feel free to send support@ettus.com a direct email with your E320's
serial number and I can see if yours is one of the affected units.
