Curious and need to solve, why there is no output to servos in stabilize mode for APM

True I do not have GPS working (attached but seems not to work) but stabilize mode should not need GPS. Correct?

Any advice gratefully received.

 

Here's start of log:

Does the RC test code show the correct results?
yes radio test fine
with APM alpha slightly modified to get gps.fix=1 when I switch on radio to stabilize this is what i get

If you are indoors, try taking your set-up outside to get a GPS lock. Once you have the initial lock you can work without a GPS lock. I'm not certain, but I do hope this fixes your issue.
I've updated the manual to reflect this (temporary) restriction.
Thanks Tim and Chris. No solution as yet, so I have ordered another GPS while Jordi examines my first one.
