Trimble Gone Mad

We had an episode of 3 Trimble GPS units showing intermittent loss of lock. The problem started at zero hours Zulu and lasted for about 2 hours. All units are located within a 20 mile radius in Orange County Califorina.

The problem cleared on it own but I’m wondering what the heck happened. Did anyone else have this problem?

Interference from an external source?

Seal beach maybe?  Or possibly someone has a jammer they were

playing with that caused the problem?
