      Everything works great when I don't have the external antenna attached.

      But with the active GPS antenna connected, i dont get gps fix. I have waited for hours...

      Is it a power issue? Using lipo battery, or do i have to change any configuration in the pytrack code?

      Thanks.

        You mean, you get GPS reception with the onboard antenna, but not with the external antenna? This could be related to the jumper labelled AON (providing additional bias to active antennas), do you have it inserted? The external antenna is an active antenna, requiring additional bias voltage to operate properly
        Let me know
