I have tried everything from
1) Repositioning the GPS
2) Recalibrating (about a billion times)
3) Added ferrite ring

I have used my APM on a plane with no problems. GPS (MTK one, from Adafruit) is hard-wired (soldered to the board directly).

Hi,
Attached is a dataflash log from my APM 2.6 running the latest firmware. I flew for ~ 12 minutes but most of the data is missing ?
See the image below and the log is attached.
All my logs have missing data.
