Yup, just tried one. 100% confirmed w/ a Rev i SB12. Turned on UGPS
power on one of the 450i APs and now it sees the data. I don't remember
if I wired the RJ12 with 1,2,3&6 or just 1,3&6 on that one. Knowing me,
since I knew the SB12 can't take UGPS power anyway, I probably left pin
2 disconnected.

If you get a chance, try turning the uGPS power on on one of the
non-uGPS powered ones... Should be perfectly safe, since there isn't
anything attached to that pin on the syncbox 12's.
I'm glad to hear that data is working. I've been so saturated with
this rackinjector project that I haven't had a chance to keep up with
the releases and test them. I knew cambium was working on them, but
when I keep hearing the data isn't there I just assume they haven't
fixed it. Now I have an answer for my tech support customers.

Cool to hear GPS+GLONASS coming.
15.0.3 or 15.1 fixed the 450i GPS data. I forget which one. I'm
now running 15.1.1 on all 900 450i sectors. And I have some that
don't display the data. I had a suspicion that it had something to
do with UGPS power since the ones that don't work are on boxes
with dedicated power and UGPS power on those APs is off. I messed
with the message checksum and it didn't make a difference.
All sectors with SBJ Aux boxes w/ UGPS power on = GPS data present.
900 450i sectors at sites mixed with 900 and 5.7 FSK on Rev i
SB12's. UGPS power off = no data. The FSK radios are seeing data
just fine.
So yeah, seems obvious that it's ignoring the GPS data if UGPS
power is off.

I've had a chance tonight to spend some time validating a new GPS
receiver with which adds GLONASS. Looking good w/much better
sensitivity. Those of you who have been mentioning the desire
for this don't have long to wait - 30 days or so, really depends
on how long the GPS module stock lasts here. Rev K will have
the new GPS modules.
In the process I've discovered that cambium in 15.1.1 (or perhaps
earlier) seems to have fixed a longstanding bug in the 450i that
prevented reliable reception of GPS status information on the GPS
status screen.
However, I've also discovered that in order to get GPS status at
all, you need uGPS power on, even for those devices such as a
syncbox 12 which doesn't need uGPS power.
For those of you running 15.1.1 on a 450i/450m, and a packetflux
timing port sync device (aka a syncbox of some sort), I'm curious
to find out if enabling uGPS power and enabling 'verify gps
message checksum' results in a usable GPS status screen. Note
that you'll need pin 3 on the syncbox connected to pin 4 on the
450i/m if you're using a timing port device (as opposed to a
syncbox junior Aux Port version which just needs a straight
through CAT5 cable.).
