I didn't think this would hit me, and I don't know if it's related, but:

I have (had) 2 Garmin GPS-18x fw 3.00 on the windowsill, one driving a 
homecooked GPSDO, the other just a separate pps.
This morning both of them were quiet; There's no NMEA data coming out of 
them, no pps, nothing. Garmin's tool won't talk to them.
They were on separate supplies, and one of them has RXD tied hard to 
ground (nothing speaks to it).
They did share windowsill, and it hasn't rained.

Anyone else lose an 18x?
