Just an update, though not a very satisfying one. I followed the advice to reset the satellite, and that didn't seem work, so I turned the satellite completely off, which seemed to stabalize things for a couple of days and just when I thought I had the culprit, I had a few similar drops on the base unit. After a couple of days longer I figured that if I'm going to have random drops until I have time to try another suggestion, I may as well have better coverage, and I turned my satellite back on. I haven't had a new drop since. This has now been stable for about a bit over a week. I'm totally doubtful the situation is in any way "solved" but I'll roll back the firmware if it starts to happen again and keep this thread updated if there are any changes in the near future.

Did you reset the base unit as well. If not, this should be done as well if the problem appears again.
