Hayden, The time is in UTC, as reported by the RTCM. The system time is typically a couple minutes off, but it wanders a bit. Ergo, each time command 98 is executed, a different delta is reported. I’m not aware of a full calibration routine, what are you referring to? The GPS is connected at 9600 baud. The RTCM’s have been modified to accept an external 9.6MHz reference, which is locked to GPS. This is the relevant output from command 98: Current Time: Fri Jun 01, 2018 00:17:43.740 Last Rx Pkt System time: 06/01/2018 00:16:08.440, diff: 95300 msec Last Rx Pkt Timestamp time: 06/01/2018 00:16:08.440, diff: 0 msec Last Rx Pkt index: 160, inbounds: 1 Does “System Time” reference the time on the computer which apt_rpt executes?

How far off is the system time? Have you done a full calibration of each board? What baud rate do you run on your GPS's? I tend to use 9600 baud and have had no issues with the GPS's I have used. There is various GPS debug tools available in the RTCM. They are documented here - https://wiki.allstarlink.org/wiki/RTCM_Client#GPS Can you possibly try injecting a 9.6MHz signal in place of the crystal on board? Perhaps you have a variant of James KI0KN's problem where his crystals were off frequency. I can't comment on that as I built all my boards and they have external frequency references.

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? Regards Hayden VK7HH
