This is the list with tracking satellites and observation type for BeiDou constellation from 2019-044 when the receiver experience 13 resets:

Indeed, BDS-3 satellites were visible and observations were logged only for a single frequency though. CUUT receiver has only two BDS frequencies. The same applies for the days since the firmware update was conducted. This means that BeiDou-3 tracking works.  However, there are times that there is something in the receiver (?) or firmware (?) that triggers a receiver reset when logging data related to one/more of BDS satellites. Since in our case the resets affect the data logging for all the other constellations and the real-time streaming, we decided to disable the BeiDou tracking for now. At least, the resets were eliminated from the last days of observation and our assumption is supported for now.

On the other hand, I am not sure how to read the ‘performance’ from the passed link. Would the +(plus sign) mean obs data on at least two frequencies? 
But then, none of the NetR9 listed there has a plus sign for PRN larger than C18 (inclusive). Does it mean something?

kind regards,
Octavian

PS: I am also aware that Javad receivers experienced similar reset issues that were removed with a patch update to the firmware sometimes towards the end of January.
