Hi,

There could be a couple of reasons to cause this issue, I would start with making sure there aren't any metal to the sides or on top of the antenna. Try testing the antenna outside of enclosure and see if there are any difference in fix time. If that fixes it then you may have to place the antenna on a different spot within the enclosure as the enclosure is affecting the antenna
