This morning at 10 AM CDT my GPS clock read 8 PM July 5th. My wife reported
that the time had been 2 hours off at 6 AM local time. She didn't notice if
it was AM or PM. The parabolic dish icon was missing from the display. I
manually set the time and date but when compared to my two WWVB clocks it
was clear it was in holdover mode. I waited about 3 hours then removed the
batteries and reinstalled them. I set the time zone and left it to it's own
devices. It set itself correctly in about 10 minutes and the dish icon was
back. I wonder what happened. Could their have been a shortage of
satellites that caused the receiver to lose lock? Why wouldn't it reacquire
on it's own? If I had been a little more patient would it have reacquired
on its own? I'm sure no one knows the answer to the last question.
Speculation is welcome.
Regards.
