In RTK base station mode, support Trimble systems with RTCM 1008 message.

Subject of the issue

In order to use the device as a base station for Trimble, it needs to transmit a RTCM 1008 message (Antenna descriptor)

Best would of-course be to be able to configure real antenna parameters, but just to make Trimble accept the data stream a 0-filled descriptor aka ADVNULLANTENNA should be sufficient.

There is an example in this forum, with some python code that does this. It just inserts a predefined 1008 message (filled with zeros) into the stream after each 1005 message. [0xd3,0x00,0x06,0x3f,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x99,0x25,0xca]

This seems very doable. I can't give you a timeline but we'll get it onto our roadmap.

Due to local (Caribbean Island) breakdown of only exisiting Trimble base station the need for transmit a RTCM 1008 message (Antenna descriptor) on sparkfun RTK base station is high.

Any new timeline available?
