Hello:

I have a Trimble unit (again) and now using gpsd's API effectively. This unit has RTK capability using Trimble's ground stations.

I noticed that when the unit has RTK fix as indicated by the solid orange lights on the unit, the 'status' field in the TPV dict disappears. Yet when I don't have RTK fix the status field is set to 2. In all cases mode is set to 3.

Seems like a bug. Shouldn't I see status = 3 (STATUS_RTK_FIX)?

Note that  the unit is only emitting GGA and RMC NMEAs. If I need more/different NMEA sentences to be emitted for gpsd to translate the status correctly, please let me know. (though technically GGA should give it to you).
