Issue: Getting constant stream of “$GPGSA,A,1,99.99,99.99,99.99*30” and similar data from GPS, unable to actually acquire time/location.
Setup: Rak2287 and Pi Hat on Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB Mem version). Running both Rak firmware and Default raspberry pi OS (with compiled drivers from Rak download).
Server: TTN and Chirpstack
Details: I am seeing the same issue described in this thread (RAK2245 TTN-Gateway: no GPS?), except that I have the Rak2287 card. Otherwise, the symptoms are identical. I have confirmed that the Pi can communicate to the GPS chip over ttyAMA0, and am getting similar data stream described by hdtodd:

I’ve disconnected/reconnected the GPS antenna, and confirmed the upx connector on the card is OK.
