+tirediron Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 The signals are not scrambled, a likely explanation is multi-path. This is especially likely if the area you were caching in had cliffs, buildings, or other objects which could reflect the signal (even power lines can cause this), causing your GPS to give a false reading.
