One of our many locations where we're using a Packetflux sync
pipe/injector seems to be losing satellite lock once every few days.
Typically it loses it for 2 to 4 seconds, but I've seen at least once
where it went 13 seconds.
I've not been able to get useful information from the SiteMonitor
because the satellites tracked/Visible OIDs are returning a string with
"Sats in View" and "Num Sats Used" instead of the actual values. (is
that a bug or what? This is on F/W "Jul 29 2012").
However, I'm getting messages like this in the AP logs:
09/21/2014 : 07:49:00 PDT : : Bridge Core : Loss of sync pulse from
Power Port! No other sync source available.
09/21/2014 : 07:49:04 PDT : : Bridge Core : Acquired sync pulse from

Not sure what I might do here. This is with all the equipment up
against a concrete wall, so there is only a 180 degree view of the sky.
Maybe a little bit less than that because the wall is not flat, maybe
about 170 degree view of the sky.
The APs are PMP450, and rarely get a GPS lock on the internal GPS. Maybe
I can try moving the sync pipe away from the wall or something.
