Dave,

Thanks! I just loaded this on two thru-hole boards (voter boards). The date and time is now correct.

Greetings,

I can report that your firmware is initially working correctly with the QRP Labs GPS modules in TTL mode. Thank you for your hard work and posting your solution.

73 and have a Great Weekend!

@Chuck_Henderson Could you build a 1.54 SMT BEW CHUCK? The diagnostics have to be removed to fit BEW but I need BEW for the Quantars.

Edit: Sorry, turns out 1.54 is not working for me. I did try all 3 (0, 1 & 2) datefix settings.

@Wa1jhk1 Looks like @Chuck_Henderson 1.54 version is not working for me but your 1.50 is. Could you make a SMT BEW CHUCK? You probably saw that I mentioned to Chuck the BEW is for the Quantars and the diagnostics must be removed to make room.

Thanks, Chuck. Please keep me posted with v1.55 progress, very much appreciated.

I just checked my boards. One is showing 1970 in the status 98 page - using a Garmin LVC puck  
The other two show 2021 using BG7TBL GPS’s but I suspect they have not rebooted since Jan 1.

All boards are thru hole. I notice a lot of RTCM’s in this post, is there a fix for the thru hole voter boards? I run standard CHUCK 1.51 firmware on my boards.

I have a site visit coming up soon, so hopefully an easy fix.

Thanks  
Hayden

Thanks to all involved, I thought I was going crazy for a little while when I did some rebooting on my RTCM’s and voter boards and found they were not working. The 1.5 WA1JHK version fixed all my sites and I have multiple types of GPS unit’s.

Another thank you to you, Dave. A friend and I installed it on 3 of his RTCMs today. All is well. Another happy customer.

Many, many thanks Dave !  
We also had the problem here in Germany with our repeater with 3 receivers.  
I installed the firmware today.  
Now everything works again.

</div>

has anyone had any luck with the 3.0 builds of firmware?

The only version I’ve been able to get working with my thunderbolts has been WA1JHK’s fixed 1.51 versions…

I was hoping to try 3.0 for the new soft-pot squelch settings… but if I can’t get the GPS to lock its a non-starter.
