[App_rpt-users] Trimble GPS Date Bug

[Tim Sawyer]

For those of us who use Trimble GPS units be aware that a bug has cropped
up with these units impacting RTCM voting/simulcast systems. RTCMs without
GPS timing are not impacted.

In voting and/or simulcast applications the date and time of all clients
must be an exact match with the server's RTCM in order to provide seamless
audio switching and launching. The Trimble bug has reverted it's date to
1997. This causes Trimble timed RTCM's to not send or receive with
non-Trimble timed RTCMs. If you have an all Trimble system, no Trimbles or
no GPS’ you're good. Only mixed systems will experience the problem.

Don’t know what the fix is yet. We’re looking for options.
