Hi, Ive been looking around here to find an answer but no luck so I thought I'd just ask.
Anyways, I finally decided to open up my Solo's GPS to place a cardboard in between the board and the copper foil. I tried it last night and I am not sure if I saw any improvements... I think it actually made it worst...
the first boot took me so long that I was forced to restart my Solo. After restart it did get me 5 sats fairly quickly which was about the same right before I did the mod. Another problem is that I was only getting 9 sats while flying.
Before the mod the highest I've gotten was 12sats.
Now I am not sure if the cardboard I used was too thick but I dont think my mod is helping me right now.
if you know any alternative for cardboard(material wise) I would like to know. I checked the shield that 3DR used to sell and they cost a lot... $30 USD on eBay?
