We've been getting instances lately of a momentary white-on-grey (i.e. low priority) message alert. It's accompanied by the audio "message" and might happen half a dozen times in a flight or not at all.
A check of the datalogs shows that it's related to a loss of GPS data to the ADS-B output. There is no other indication of GPS problems - course information on the HSI, wind vector, mapping on the GPS itself etc are all solid.
These data dropouts are very brief, as the message always self-clears in less than a second.
I'm pretty convinced this only emerged with the latest V.14 firmware. Is it somehow more sensitive to the occasional dropped sentence, or is there somewhere else I should look?
