Larry, Not a problem. The VP works fine with current dates. The ones you have to look out for are back in the original v6.x firmware days. Because of their programming the were not capable of handling the 1024 week rollover.

My previous firmware comment, however, was directed at the Z3801A's motherboard firmware, not the VP's firmware. This is because my Z3801A won't take a manually entered date after Dec 31st, 2007. With a 2008 date I get an "out of range" (or something like that) error msg back. The VP doesn't seem to have any problems with 2008 dates from the GPS birds. And once the Z3801A gets up and running with current date/time/position all is good. Tnx very much for the input RF connector info! I think some washers may be able to space the VP a little higher to allow enough clearance for the cable connector on the "straight" RF input connector without hitting the IC underneath it on the motherboard, but I've not yet tried this. --Larry, W7JYJ _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
