Re: [time-nuts] Strange event on my Z3805A [REVISED to correct links]

Matt, It's not easy to see but if you look at the 72h plot, you can see that the EFC voltage stops at a low value before the event and then continues at a higher voltage after it. Look at the EFC level values before and after. This is the first time I've seen anything of the magnitude on the

Sorry, my bad, the links on traces 2-4 are incorrect. I've been a little lax in keeping my eye on the baby for over a day but was astonished to see the display on GPSCon just a few minutes ago. Things are usually very predictable with my EFC voltage showing a linear downward slope but I was

Seems that things have started to return to some normality but variations in the EFC are very high. The status line from the unit as reported shows everything is OK and it's tracking 7 sats. Trace of proceeding 60h from current time 1st Feb 10:30 UTC

Steve, I'm much more wizened than wise, but my understanding is that crystal jumps do not come back. They stay at their new frequency. I did notice on your graph of the event that there were changes in the sat. constellation at the beginning and end of the anomaly. I've seen similar moves on
