Re: [time-nuts] Deaf Z3801
However, setting it to 23:59:59 Dec 12,2007 and leaving t alone for an hour or two seems to have done the trick. Thanks folks! Off to look at adev/pn of the $7 GPS boards I found with 10MHz out. Plots soon.

Re: [time-nuts] Deaf Z3801
Yup. tried that too.

Re: [time-nuts] Deaf Z3801
Hi One thing that has faked me out on SCPI - they cache error messages. You have to dump them all before you try something.

Re: [time-nuts] Deaf Z3801
Thanks John. When I do this, I get the E-222 error indicating 'Data out of range'. Tried several formats, trailing';', etc. Here's what I get: scpi > :GPS:INIT:DATE 2017,11,16 E-222> :GPS:INIT:DATE 17,11,16 E-222> :GPS:INIT:DATE 17,01,01 E-222> :GPS:INIT:DATE 2017,01,01 E-222> :GPS:INIT:DATE 2017,01,01; E-222> :GPS:INIT:DATE 17,01,01; E-222> Even tried a :SYSTEM:PRESET, whic interestingly enough, does not reset the location.

Try: Shut off power to the GPS receiver Disconnect the GPS antenna downlead Reapply power to the GPS receiver Enter :GPS:INIT:DATE 2017,01,01 (The only space is between DATE and 2017) Reconnect the GPS antenna downlead and wait John > > On November 14, 2017 at 10:43 PM Bob Bownes wrote: > > I put my 3801 back in service the day before yesterday, or tried to.

[time-nuts] Deaf Z3801
I put my 3801 back in service the day before yesterday, or tried to. It’s been on the shelf for about a year (off). I powered it up, and while it sees a few sats, it will not acquire any. Changing to a known good antenna (off the NTP server) makes no difference. Anyone seen the behavior before? The location data is good, but the time/date are way out. Thanks!
