Scott:
You might want to look at whether or not you have any metal near your Magnetometer. I installed my magnetometers (duel) on a shelf above the battery but failed to realize that the metal screws I used on the shelf tray were causing interference.
As far as the GPS antenna, having it under the fairing at the vertical stabilizer is way wrong for two reasons. 1. Cable run length too long and 2. the vertical stabilizer is interfering with the GPS look up anytime you turn.
For my GPS antennas I built two mounting trays under the glare shield and cut out a 6" metal square above the trays and fiberglassed them in and have two GPS antenna's in one tray and one GPS and one WX Weather antenna in the other tray and have no problem whatsoever. Since you are already up and flying I would recommend that you attach a tray on the firewall center top and put all of your antennas under the firewall. My buddy flying an RV-6 did this and it works great.
