[App_rpt-users] RTCM voter problem - try 2

[James Cizek]

Hi all,

I posted this problem many months ago and I came to the conclusion at that
time that it was my 1PPS signal from the GPS into the RTCM that was the
problem.  I have changed hardware now to fix that and I still have the
problem so I am suspecting a config issue and hope someone will have an
idea.
This is on a stock DIAL box.

RTCM is setup and working great as a standard node.
Everything is working great on the repeater as long as RTCM is in non-voter
mode.

I have the chan_voter module loading in modules.conf.

Here is my voter.conf:

[general]
port = 667
buflen = 200
password = blah

[1115]
Horsetooth = blah,transmit
plfilter = y
txtoctype = none


I am happy to share any other config if requested.

In the RTCM menus, I have a static IP, I have the voter server IP, all the
approriate IP fields filled out. As mentioned, the RTCM works fine with the
asterisk server when it's in non-voter mode.

Here's the way I am testing:
Verify RTCM menu item 10 is set to (2) None.

Boot server, then boot RTCM.  RTCM console says:

GPS Receiver Active, waiting for aquisition
GPS signal acquired, number of satellites in view = 9
04/05/2016 17:58:17.560  Time now syncronized to GPS
04/05/2016 18:13:18.580  Host Connection established (Pri) (10.16.1.240)

 I have a very nice, clean, 5Volt 1PPS signal going to pin 7 on the DB15.
Verfied with o-scope.

as soon as I change menu item 10 on the RTCM to either a (1) or a (0)
instead of (2),  I *instantly* get this on the RTCM console:

04/05/2016 18:44:13.660  Lost GPS Time synchronization
04/05/2016 18:44:13.660  Host Connection Lost (Pri) (10.16.1.240)

and it sits there forever and never re-establishes connection to the host.

Here is a snippet of the GPS output:

I am just not sure where to go from here.  I can't seem to find anyone
that's had any problem like this or what might be causing it.

I have tried 5 different RTCMs and 5 different GPSs from 3 different
manufacturers.

Any suggestions on what I might be missing?

Many thanks for any help anyone can offer!
