Hello, all. I am a new member, having discovered this forum a few days ago, whilst doing a Google search looking for current telephone contact information for TrueTime/Symmetricon technical support.
For many years I've had a TrueTime/Symmetricon Model XL-AK GPS time & frequency receiver in service here, which drives multiple serially slaved 9-digit LED IRIG-B remote readouts spread around my station. They display the day-of-the-year [counted up from 1/1] and the satellite GMT time. At midnight on each January 1st, the display always updated to reflect the coming of a new calendar year, and the day-of-the-year on the remote displays would reset to "0" [Zero]. On 1/1/2016, I noticed that the day counter display did not automatically reset to zero, and start over. The day counter display continued increasing incrementally, until 139 days ago, it finally reset itself to zero and started incrementally increasing again from [day] 1. Which means that the day-of-the-year counter function currently reads "139," when it should read "2." The time display has always remained accurate. I had hoped the day counter issue would resolve itself at midnight on 1/1/2017; but nothing changed. I know that the TrueTime/Symmetricon XL-AK and XL-DC GPS receivers are popular, and now that I have discovered this forum; I would like to solicit feedback as to what the root of the problem is and how to remedy it, from anyone on the forum having personal experience with this line of GPS receivers. Ideas???
