Good afternoon everyone. The data blocks that typically house the frequency identification as well as the frequency number have disappeared on GPS #2 which is an IFD 440 that I run in tandem with an IFD 550. Any thoughts?

It was having a difficult time picking up a GPS signal sometimes taking 10 minutes and we found the GPS 2 antenna was on an L Bracket not facing the sky. The shop built a new mounting bracket and we seem to be good to go here.

Problem solved. The user profile setting "Roger" that details my setup of the GPS had been switched over to user profile setting "5" When I toggled the user settings back and forth the frequency displays appeared and disappeared. I have a picture and a video that are too large to upload here. But in any case, a simple fix.
