I turned on a Z3801 that had been idle for a while. The status screen said:
UTC 20:03:44 [?] 11 May 1992
That looks like 1024 weeks (19.7 years) ago.
When I first turned it on, before finding any satellites, it said:
UTC 12:05:00 [?] 01 Jan 1992
Has anybody else noticed troubles like this?
I've got another one that still works. It's got a bigger serial number so I
assume it's more recent.
Does anybody know how to read the firmware date or version? There is a
command to get info from the GPS unit, but I haven't found a way to get any
info for the main firmware.
After a while, the "[?]" goes away.
IIRC the GPSs in the Z3801As are Oncore VPs. They don't suffer from the
GPS week rollover, but If the RTC in the receiver is not set or its
battery has failed, and the reference year stored in EEPROM is also
wrong, the receiver may select the wrong 20-year window. This may be
fixed by entering a date command when the receiver is not tracking
satellites.
send the receiver

and you will get the revision data.
hope that helps
