GPS satelites and antenna? Whats with blue light?
My 8600 arrived Monday - I have it hooked up and works great. I have a blue light as opposed to the normal green light. See above picture for GPS info - My shop has a metal roof so I'm probably not getting a real good signal. I will route an extended cable out my South wall and mount antenna outside - will it last in the wx or should I put it in a plastic weatherproof box? Do I have enough satelite coverage now - see above pic? Whats the deal with Blue light? Ant recomendations for another antenna for outside?
Thanks for answers

Blue light indicates that the GNSS receiver is locked and tracking satellites.

You should look for a blue light, indicating a satellite lock. A green light means there is no satellite connection.
SOLID BRIGHT RED = Transmitting on
PA SOLID ORANGE = Transmitting on XVTR port with low power
SOLID DIM RED = Transmit engaged, interlocks not resolved (will not emit RF)
SOLID PURPLE = Updating software
FLASHING YELLOW = GPS in warmup
SOLID YELLOW = GPS in holdover (lost satellites)
SHORT FLASH BLUE = GPS locking
LONG FLASH BLUE = GPS in hold phase mode
SOLID BLUE = GPS locked
SOLID GREEN = Receive
SOLID AMBER = Radio off, GPS powered for stability
FLASHING RED "S" = Flashing a Morse "S" in Red indicates boot failure
OFF = Radio off, oscillators off
NOTE: The FLEX-6700R does not have the Transmit Indicator (Solid RED)source: What are the FLEX-6000 Front Panel LED Indications? — FlexRadio Community
