You'll need to send the modified IRIG used by WWV (17 cycles/170ms for a binary 
0, 47 cycles/470ms for a 1).  You'll also need to include the position 
identifiers every ten minutes (77 cycles/770 ms).  The GC-1000 firmware looks 
for two consecutive frames that differ by exactly one minute before accepting 
the data as valid.  It requires three of these pairs in a row before it will 
update its time.

Close, but I think you'll need six frames, each incremented by one minute.

I haven't done this, but reading the GC-1000 manual (Theory of Operation 
section) yielded the information I mentioned above.  I downloaded a copy in 
order to do so.
