Our project, the DFW Connector, crosses 3 main approaches on DFW Airports north side, literally at the runway lights. Our GPS network works like a charm on the whole site, with the exception of these three areas. It was brought up today in a meeting that pilots use an ALS, automatic landing system, that may be jamming our radio in those areas. Does anybody know about such? Is it possible? Is there a work around? It is not so much a problem for the surveying as it is for the machine control. Any thoughts or answers?

Only Suggestion is Check the frequencies and wattage of the ALS. If they are close and the ALS is pumping out the watts, you could get cross frequency interference.
