My Z3801A has been going into holdover randomly for at least a month. Sometimes it doesn't happen for many days and other times two days in a row. The time in holdover is anywhere from under 1/2 hour to several hours. Last night, it went into holdover again and has been that way for over 20 hours.
Ulrich's program currently shows nine satellites available and attempting to acquire six. No satellites are acquired. When satellites were acquired, the signal strengths have always been good to very good. The Z3801A has been on a shelf and nothing has been changed with the configuration, antenna, power supply, location, etc. It has been in continuous operation for several months. The only changes were a new serial cable to replace a BOB and switching to Ulrich's program. I'm assuming that something is failing or has finally failed on the Z3801A. Any ideas what? Is it likely that the Oncore receiver would go intermittant like this? And if it is the Oncore, would it still be showing satellites available?
