It seems that GPS reception and time to GPS sync is much worse with latest radio. Has anyone else noticed this?

I have the .14 radio and using it on Orange. It's excellent and GPS lock is under ten seconds.

Also,

Just switched mines on there,

I'm in my house not outside and it connected within 5 second's if not a bit less,

I would imagine ti depend's where you are and how good a signal you have got also,

Have you tried it in a couple of different location's maybe?

I had the .11 radio. Flashing to .14 made a big difference! Thanks for the link!

Yup, the R5 comes with .11 radio. The .14 made a BIG difference for me as well. Much faster GPS lock.

.11 wasn't getting GPS at all, now flashed to .14 and it's is getting a fix, albeit not quite as fast as others have reported - mine is still taking between 30 secs to 10 minutes. So it looks like .14 was worth upgrading to.
