GPS Time Update and Synchronizing time via NTP

[ylis]

Hi all - I'm feeding FR24 using a Radarcape box (early S/N 1304 upgraded to Debian) and get the following gps and time messages. Is this an issue or likely to be a problem and if so, can anyone suggest the cause and a fix ?

Cheers

You would be better to contact Guenter on his support forum

Unless you masked out your location with Ds it looks like the GPS antenna isn't getting a stable lock. But he may have another solution

Thanks - yep I edited my lat & long to the DD's to be 'anonymous'. The GPS itself is working and is stable. I gather it shouldn't be doing this every 120secs. Cheers
