Interesting subject. I too attach my Garmin III on top of the coaming of my PA28 and have all sorts of problems sometimes.
Recently however, the problem isn't so much lack of "reception".
What seems to happen is the unit just turns itself off for no reason whatsoever. Sometimes it's every 10 minutes other times it doesn't happen for an hour or two.
Any one else find the same?
In frustration I once whacked it on the floor of the plane and it seemed to behave itself then for a few days!
