Steve,
If this is the problem, just update the firmware. It was fixed in Firmware 8.0 ("* fix: ignoring GPS messages from QZSS satellite"). I doubt you're running firmware that old though, so it might be another issue.
Do you have another GPS antenna you can try? I was using a cheap eBay antenna and losing the GPS fix quite regularly (availability on the controller page was about 60-80% most days). I had no errors in the log, apart from it noting that the GPS was unavailable. Swapped in another antenna from Adafruit which I'd used for a Raspberry Pi project, and all my problems went away.
This is the antenna I'm now using with no problems: https://www.adafruit.com/product/960
