No. Mine is connected via the NMEA 183 "receive" connection I believe. The USB is only connected when checking the unit's diagnostics. The connections were verified by two different technicians (original installer and Stryker's tech) as well as Sitex. It could well be interference with other structures on the boat. Remember Class B units transmit with low power. Who knows what is going on. I have no issues with the receive capability.
