[App_rpt-users] RTCM voter problem - try 2

Tue Apr 5 19:49:09 UTC 2016

Thanks Sam,  that was a good catch.  I have tried so many different things
I didn't see that I missed putting that back in.

It did not help anything. I restarted asterisk, and rebooted the RTCM.  It
just sits there saying the GPS receiver is active and that it sees 9
satellites.  The yellow light blinks forever and it never logs into the
asterisk server.

With the "master" setting in voter.conf, it's apparent that the RTCM is
talking to the server as when the menu item 10 is set to "2"(none),  the
asterisk log spools by with many "voter client trying to authenticate as a
mix client" error.   This stops happening immediately when menu item 10 is
set to either 0 or 1 (as would be expected).

Any other ideas on where to look?   Thanks for the help!
