[App_rpt-users] RTCM voter problem - try 2

Tue Apr 5 23:13:52 UTC 2016

Thanks for that note Tim.  That was suggested to me earlier as well. I have
since changed them but it didn't make a difference.

On a side note, with the RTCM as a mix client, it seemed to work just fine
with same password for both.  I realize that seems not to be a best
practice and have rectified that, but it did work ok!

Still hoping to uncover the problem.  Just don't know where to go from
here...
