Smartnet drops control channel after ~10 minutes #232

Closed Cole0209 closed 5 years ago

Cole0209 commented 5 years ago

My smartnet system keeps dropping the control channel after around 10 minutes of working perfectly. I also tried to run just the smartnet (msp) system alone but the issue still occurs... If I restart trunkrecorder the problem goes away for another 10 minutes. https://pastebin.com/WwEkECHV

I don't know if this is relevant but when it is trunking properly i get these info messages spamming up my console. ` [2019-03-20 19:46:09.181964] (info) Patching Command: 340 Freq: 0.000000e+00 Talkgroup: 6528

I had this happen before with cheaper RTL dongles that would thermally drift over time. If you aren't already using them, I would recommend you get a TCXO dongle for a few extra bucks.

Issue resolved. For future reference I had to swap the ports the dongles were in something was up with them even though they are all USB 3.0
