It looks like a chatty way of saying that it can not find a single reference
antenna for the whole array. This means that there are two or more groups of
antennae, each of which has its own reference antenna. Since FRING can't
connect the groups, it will throw out the solutions for all but one of the
groups (presumably the one with the largest number of antennae).
