[Bug]: RTC not applying time to fixed position packets

Description

I have multiple RAK nodes with RTC's.
When the device is set with a fixed position (over bluetooth) the correct time is maintained on all future position packets that are sent. After rebooting (remotely) to update settings, the RTC still has a valid time but all future fixed position packets have their time set to zero.

Valid time properly found after fresh boot from RTC
DEBUG | ??:??:?? 1 Saved TZ: PST8PDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0
DEBUG | ??:??:?? 1 Set Timezone to PST8PDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0
DEBUG | ??:??:?? 1 Read RTC time from RV3028 getTime as 2024-11-05 22:07:46 (1730844466)
DEBUG | 14:07:46 1 NeighborInfoModule is disabled
DEBUG | 14:07:46 1 Rescanning for I2C keyboard

Time is then stripped off the position packet when it is requested from another node.
DEBUG | 14:08:48 63 [PositionModule] Setting local position: lat=49 lon=-123 time=0 timestamp=0
DEBUG | 14:08:48 63 [PositionModule] Sending location with precision 32

Screenshot from a little earlier in the day showing the issue in the android position log.

Relevant log output

Please reopen, this is not fixed and i lack the permission to open it myself.

Done. I'll try to dig an RTC module out. I think I have one of the WisBlock ones. If not, I'll order one and try to work with one of the external modules

T-Echo has one too

Another solution to this issue, is on incoming position packets, when time is missing or 0, replace with current time.
