Ubiquiti or Mikrotik radios will do fine as long as you stay away from 2.4 gig. That should help. Oddly enough I had some weird GPS issue with 3 of my sites this morning...not sure what that was about. Once you get it running you'll love it!

Hello Jeff - In the final configuration the transmitter, master and server will be at the same location. Right now, the master and server are at my QTH, and the transmitter is at the "repeater" location about 8 miles West. I have a node for the ISP, which is all microwave, but the path to the repeater site takes me back to the ISP TOC about 15 miles SouthEast, through their routing back to the repeater. The fact that the DMR system is having a drop-packet issue is a strong indication, the comment about the full bandwidth by the ISP indicates that it really is a network problem. The GPS is probably fine. It really looks as if we need to establish our own RF links. Thanks again for the help. 73, Kermit W9XA

Not a problem but I'll give credit where credit is due. Chuck WB9UUS and Jim Dixon shared a lot of insight with me regarding my issue. Running RTCM's over the public internet can be a challenge (depending on the ISP and if latency remains consistent or not). Is your Transmitter and Master timing source physically at the same location as the DIAL server?

Hello Jeff - ???? We are using voted receivers - and it is very interesting thatyou mention the network issues causing the dropping which Idescribe as GPS drops. ??????? I assumed since the error on the serial monitor indicatesthat the "GPS ....lost.." followed by "acquiring... xx satellites inview" then "establishing.." (I dont recall the actual wording)statements to be caused by an interruption of the GPS, or thehandling of the GPS serial by the RTCM DSPic.? Duringthe test of the full system last night I noticed over two-dozeninterruptions, mostly at the remote transmitter site, that causeda lot of problems.? All of the sites are on the same ISP withover 1-Gbs bandwidth at all of the sites. I called the ISP this afternon and was told that at 7-9PM last night that the POP where theTX was located, the bandwidth was full - this makes a lot ofsense now....? ALSO, today we noticed that the DMR systemat the site is having refresh and registration issues from packetdrop with the C-Bridge, and the ISP bandwidth issues still persist. ??????? It does appear that the network is a serious limitation untilthe next Gb of bandwidth is completed, at least to our transmit"site", slated for the next month? So the network is now a known problem. I guess that I had mis-interpreted this dropped packet issue as a? GPS lock issue. I had been considering running a file on the GPS rx serial line along with a file of the console serial to see if I can actually correlate the GPS error messages with a problem on the rx serial in - but if you have seen this before as a result of the network problem, then I will rectify the network issue first and then see if the GPS errors abate. ???????????? I really appreciate this insight ! ?????????????????????????????? ???? Thanks, ?????????????????????????????? ?????????????? 73, Kermit Carlson W9XA?????????????????????????? ????????????????????????

Just curious, how are you sure it's GPS dropping?? I had a similar issue and I was sure it was GPS but it wound up being a network issue on a network that I was SURE was perfect.? What's your setup?? Voted receivers, simulcast transmitters or a standalone RTCM? On Wed, Jan 4, 2017 at 7:36 AM, <app_rpt-users-request@ ohnosec.org <app_rpt-users-request@ohnosec.org>> wrote:

I have been noticing my nodes getting disconnected at 4:02 AM once a week. It seems to coincide with a logrotate operation that happens at the same time.? Is this supposed to work this way?? (Version 0.325 running under Centos 5.1)
