Customer #384437 on GPS-11058 - Venus GPS with SMA Connector

Hello, I have one of these about 6 months old. I am using the example tutorial from Simon Monk above. My GPS gets a fix, and the red lights flashes.

My issue is that it seems as though I do not get regular updates without physically touching the unit itself. And when I say touching, I mean I have to actually be putting a little pressure onto the SMA connector, like it has a dodgey connection to the board or something like that. BUT the whole time, the unit itself still has a fix.

I am not sure where to look for ideas? I have connected a set of header pins to the unit, and they are all ok.

Example output here: Lat: 2733.0388S Lat: 2733.0388S Lat: 2733.0388S Lat: 2733.0388S Lat: 2733.0388S Lat: 2733.0388SLat: 2733.0380S Lat: 2733.0376S Lat: 2733.0367S Lat: 2733.0369S Lat: 2733.0370S Lat: 2733.0375S Lat: 2733.0381S Lat: 2733.0389S Lat: 2733.0390S Lat: 2733.0391S Lat: 2733.0390S Lat: 2733.0393S Lat: 2733.0394S Lat: 2733.0394S Lat: 2733.0394S Lat: 2733.0394S Lat: 2733.0394S

Also further to this, the Direction can report all over the place. Without any rotation, it can go from 17deg to 170deg to 317deg. Is this normal?
