Thanks for reminding us of this Forrest, I remember scrambling on New
Years Eve trying to figure out what was happening.
I'm presuming that Cambium has fixed this in all Post 2020 firmware on
radios that have integrated GPS, or UGPS units? My UGPS Units have FW
dated 6-12-2020, so I'm presuming that it would have the GLONASS Fix.

Just a heads-up:
Four years ago, we had a bit of an issue where the date in the GLONASS
GNSS system rolled over at midnight, New Year's Eve/Day, Moscow time,
and all (most) of the multi-constellation PacketFlux and Cambium sync
receivers went wacky. They all needed a reboot/power cycle and
returned to life.
It's time for the GLONASS to roll over again, so I expect a repeat for
all of the receivers that crashed last time. Hopefully, the firmware
that our GNSS module vendor claims has had the issue fixed has
actually had the issue fixed, so newer receivers (post-mid-2020) will
be ok.
I've put a website up at packetflux.info/glonassrollover
<http://packetflux.info/glonassrollover> for a bit with probably way
too much information, and I finally got emails sent to every email
address that had bought a multi-GNSS SyncBox or was on our products
update mailing list.
This is a bit of outreach on this mailing list - I will likely do a
couple of Facebook posts in the next day or so as well.
