Gps sats number periodically drops to zero

Hello!

Today I had strange behavior of gps satellites count in the flight.

There’s a link to the log file above.

The issue: each 6 seconds I have drop number of satellites to zero. After this in rises up to 10…12 snd drops again.
At the same moment camera stop recording and osd screen splash bright.

Also today I’d updated crossfire firmware to the latest version.

Camera is caddix fpv (split style)
Gps is bn180
FC: matek f405 wing fce

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks and regards

that usually means the GPS is losing power, or the RX/GND pins are coming loose

Finally I fixed my problem.
My solution was use a brand new fast sd card in camera.
As I investigated, sometimes caddixes generates a lot of noise close to gps band when have a sd cadr problems.
