"Sorry, running around today, I haven't had a chance to try your suggestions yet Mike, I did have a few minutes after I last posted when I found out:

When I connect power to the servo plugs on APM to power the Rx/Servos the GPS Satcount goes to 0 nearly instantly. This is the case when using a battery for the servo rail, using an esc for the servo rail, and even when running the APM off a…
