rocket-prism-5ac-gen2 changes for station 100.32

Oct 20, 03:01 AM

in order to get david mcClane working, i had to do the following:

rocket-prism-5ac-gen2:

in the “wireless” section:

one – “Control Frequency List” changed from “on” to “off”

two – “Center Frequency, MHz” sset to 5800 and control-frequency to (default) 5790

three – frame duration – changed from “flexible (legacy): to “fixed 5ms”

AI:

Why this fixes the bad unit’s timeouts:

Right now, you have Control Frequency List set to OFF and Frequency set to Auto. This means your Rocket has the entire 5 GHz spectrum to jump around on.
Because your “bad” NanoBeam is struggling with a slight timing delay (evidenced by that 0.7-mile ghost distance reading), every time the Rocket shifts channels silently to avoid background noise, the bad NanoBeam loses its timing window, drops its connection for a few seconds, and triggers your ping timeouts.
Locking Frequency, MHz to a static number forces the Rocket to stay put, allowing both NanoBeams to lock on and stop dropping packets.
