In further button pushing, I found the Date was 1998 !! So, I manually reset the Date
and Time and it's now doing a Satellite search. The previous measurements must have been some artifact of Holdover. One is now merrily searching, I'll let it run for a while. And, I think you are correct, the Battery must surely be dead by now. I'll look into replacing it.

A site survey can take some 20 hours. There should be some LED indicator that says the status is locking. Let them run a day or two. If there is a LI battery to retain information that may be long gone. Replacing that would give you a fatser start. Had to do this on some Odetics receivers. Good luck Paul.
