Hi Daniel, What you have is a 58503A, the GPS time/frequency receiver (the 58530A is a GPS bandpass filter). Note that today is MJD 56829. Exactly 1024 weeks (7168 days) ago was November 4, 1994. So this looks like a typical GPSDO week number rollover issue. It shouldn't affect the time or

Hi Dave, 768 weeks (3 * 256). Right. In any modulus arithmetic situation you face a windowing decision. Look at your wristwatch right now. Mine says 14:46, or 2:46 PM. You are likely to say quarter 'till 3, rather than 3/4 after 2. Both are mathematically correct, but one is more

Interesting. It was May 22 this year when I first noticed that my Garmin 45XL was reporting a date in 1994, exactly 1024 weeks early. That's also consistent with Garmin having used 768 weeks as their fence for a GPS week being in the past instead of the future. It's really the same as the
