When you got it returned from Airnav last time, did they say what the problem had been?

Your fault seems to be a strange one and the same as you reported before.  In the previous cases reported, either the RB works or it doesn't.

Do you still get the green 'connected' indications in the RB interface? Do you loose Network traffic as well?  Are you switching the PC off during these periods or unplugging the antenna?

You say that you picked up a helicopter, I presume that you mean in the list?  You wouldn't see a helicopter for long even in the list due to it's relatively low altitude.

How much traffic do you normally see?  What range does your polar diagram go out to?

There are occasions when I think that my RB has stopped picking up local traffic, but it's usually just that there isn't any traffic out there - even in the London area overnight.
