Am getting "no signal" message on gps unit. Self test at start up indicates all o.k....suspect receiver/antenna problem..Have tried shutting off unit and turning on again several times.............no help. Have heard that can re boot antenna/receiver by unplugging/replugging the antenna cable from unit . Any help before I call for house call repair?.........Thanks....rolf

If you have a volt meter - test the antenna output.Take the antenna cable off the unit and use the probe to test the unit.It should be around 5-6 volts.The NorthStar units are almost bullet proof.Most trouble is either a frayed cable or a bad antenna.Never hurts to remove/clean/replace the cable.Sometimes corrosion will build up and it does not take much to lose the signal.
