Can someone explain to me why the GPS signal drops when the gimble is pointed to E?

GPS down in E

Wonder if it is where and how the GPS chip is mounted on the frame? Based on the MadsTech tear apart of the Neo there doesn't seem to be an actual separate antenna for the GPS module. Maybe why many of us experience fluctuations in the number of satellites acquired during flying. Heading E and positions the GPS module in a poor position. You would think with the redundancy and number of satellites to choose from overhead it is not the issue.
Have you been able to repeat the incident in another area. Maybe localized interference?
Just guessing the GPS module in the Neo is a very low grade model. Flying both the Avata2 and Neo in the same location within an hour or so. The Avata2 locks onto faster and acquires more satellites than the Neo. Minimal to no fluctuations in number. Neo. Slow to acquire. Less satellites acquired. Fluctuations that sometimes gets concerning.

It may be that this region is more influenced by NEO, in other places this did not occur to me. It must be the location itself.
