The answer to that is "I'm not sure" :) <br><div>If I connect the GPS, remove the "master" reference in voter.conf, the GPS light lights up solid yellow, I get messages on the RTCM console that the time is synced, the gps is active, and the host connection is up. I get solid yellow light on the HST light also. At this point, the entire system operates correctly. Asterisk routes the audio and adds telemetry and linking with other nodes works. Everything works. I realize you don't need a GPS in this mode, but it seems to see it and use it's data to set the time on the RTCM.</div><br><div>Now, the problem comes when I want to turn the above described mix node to a voter node. The very moment you set menu item #10 (The 1PPS setting) on the RTCM to either "0" (for normal) or "1" (for inverted), the GPS light begins flashing and the host light extinguishes. It drops the connection to the host, it spits out a message on the RTCM console saying that GPS lock is lost. It also states once more that the GPS is active and seeking, but won't lock (yellow light blinks forever) and it won't log into the asterisk server (yellow HST light never lights). I made sure to re-add the "master" setting to voter.conf at this time, but it doesn't fix the problem.</div><br><div>I hope that clears it up, if not, let me know. </div><br><div>Thanks.
