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.
