What is your values in voter.conf for RX buffer and in the RTCM client for TX buffer. Are all RTCM TX buffers set to the same value?

Are all the GPS's in a location where they cannot be swamped with RF?

Some users have had success with a dedicated RTCM as the master timing source (with no radio connected).

What is your values in voter.conf for RX buffer (960) and in the RTCM client for TX buffer (480). Are all RTCM TX buffers set to the same value? Yes, 480.  These values were based upon the math Jim provided, which is a function of maximum latencies on the network.  We rarely have greater than 1ms to any host on the network.

Are all the GPS's in a location where they cannot be swamped with RF? Yes, and they utilize PCTEL antennas with filtering for use in RF dense environments.

Some users have had success with a dedicated RTCM as the master timing source (with no radio connected).   Has it been suspected that an RTCM doesn’t have the horsepower to handle both functions contemporaneously?

Hayden,

Do you know what exactly “RX Packet Out of Bounds” refers to?  I can infer its meaning, but, one can’t be certain.  Any thoughts why the system time is always so far off?  It has always been, since I began experimenting with the RTCM in 2012.  This is consistent across many RTCM’s.

I would like to let everybody know there has been a change in the board of directors and leadership of AllStarLink. I have resigned from the board and as President of the organization. I am working with the board to transfer all of my responsibilities to others. I expect more information about the membership of the board will come from them.

When Jim passed away, I was asked to step in and make sure AllStarLink continued. In fact, my goal was simple, AllStarLink should survive any single person. No matter who comes and goes, AllStarLink continues to move forward. We formed a Not for Profit corporation, setup a board of directors etc. Kevin, Bryan and Tim stepped up and filled out the board. 
All three have done quite a few very important tasks that got us on our feet. We moved the source code to GitHub where everybody could see the code and contribute. We made sure the DNS was solid and correct. The servers were backed up. An inventory of servers and application was built so that we could recover. You can't fix something if you don't know it exists and where it is. All in all lot's of work was done behind the scenes. There is still a great deal of thing to be done. We have teams for the infrastructure, development and administration. All the teams need people willing to put in the hard work of running what amounts to a enterprise. If you can help, step up!

I am not falling off the edge of the earth, I have quite a few projects going. I will continue to contribute in my own way to AllStarLink, just not in a daily active role. This is a positive step. AllStarLink will continue to innovate.

Just a note to those that try Android IAXRPT on older phones...

I have a old galaxy s4 i keep around for utility tasks as I am a iPhone guy. (time to update that)

But if you install this on smaller screens, you will not be able to see all the buttons to make it work.

So go to the google play website and look at screenshots to see what you should be seeing on your phone.

Could save some a little grief.

Steve,
As a new comer to all-star, I thank you for all that you have done.
I am glad that you will continue to contribute to the cause.
I  hope to learn enough to contribute as well.

I think I am echoing the opinions of many, but thank you for taking on this role when Jim passed, and for helping (along with the rest of the
board) preserve and ensure Allstar continues to grow (10K+ nodes?  Take that, you others!) and thrive.

Jim left big shoes to fill...and you all have done just that.

Thank you!

Just in the case you have not heard the news of the past week,

There is a warning issued by the FBI about a potential malware threat to 
routers.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/paloma/the-cybersecurity-202/2018/05/24/the-cybersecurity-202-the-fbi-is-trying-to-thwart-a-massive-russia-linked-hacking-campaign/5b058e921b326b492dd07e55/?utm_term=.3ecb87d65a41

While I did try to dig deeper on this over the weekend, I could not 
obtain the grimy details.

But it looks like a sleeper so you might want to do due diligence and 
reset your router to clear the ram.

When I say sleeper, I mean it has yet to perform new duties so it might 
not affect anything now.

I'm clearing all of mine once a day till I find out more. Just a FYI.

Steve,
   Just wanted to echo my thanks for everything as well.  I know I’ve only been working with AllStar less than a year now, but I’ve always appreciated all the assistance, back history, and everything you’ve shared with me since then.  I’ve learned a great deal & that’s why I’ve tried to pay it forward.  Sounds like you’re going to have what, an extra hour of the day free now?  What will you do w/ all that extra time? LOL 😉  73 de K4SQI!
