<div dir="ltr">Hi All,<div><br></div><div>Looking back through the app_rpt archives I came across this unanswered topic from Fredric Moses:</div><div><br></div><div><pre style="white-space:pre-wrap;color:rgb(0,0,0)">Hello, I currently have 4 RTCM's running for a few years now on a UHF
system just fine... I want to start doing the same to a VHF repeater that I
have taken over.. I created a second port in the voter.conf and attached a
new RTCM to that port and it worked for a bout a week now.. There was a
crew at the site doing work and a power cycle happend on the gear and now
the single VHF RTCM is spitting out the following..
12/04/2014 23:59:15.160 Inbound (Eth Rx) packet out of bounds by: -1
All the UHF RTCM's are connected fine and passing traffic.. The server
shows the VHF connected and it is receving audio/cor just fine but no TX
audio. If i pull the ethernet plug from the vhf it goes into failover mode
and local repeats just fine... But with the ethernet plugged in i get no TX
audio and the console on the RTCM fills with the above messages...

For me when I added a dumb switch between the RTCM and the Cisco switch (which is set to 10 half) it started to work fine. I'm using 250ms of buffering and it's only a 15ms hop to the server, with very little jitter.</span></font></pre><pre><font color="#000000" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">I've also noticed I'm getting a large number of packet errors on the various switches that all my RTCM's are plugged into.

The antenna has a very good path to 3/4's of the sky, but I have a large building blocking one direction. Not sure if the maybe the GPS accuracy is dropping to say 100 meters or is getting some multi-path off the building and is effecting the timing? I'm using a Trimble Thunderbolt E. I never seem to loose the GPS LED or get any debug info about dropping the GPS location.</span></font></pre><pre><font color="#000000" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"><br></span></font></pre><pre><font color="#000000" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">Any help would be great, I'm grasping at straws a little.</span></font></pre><pre><font color="#000000" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">
