Hi Tom:

Somewhere in May my CSI LGBX Pro DGPS Receiver quite GPS locking (the CSI LF 
beacon receiver works fine).

It uses an Ashtech G-12L GPS receiver. Do you know if they have a fatal rollover problem rather than just getting the year wrong?

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 the 1PPS or the 10 MHz. One thing to try is 
manually setting the date using a SCPI command.

You can check www.realhamradio.com/GPS_websites_list.htm to see if anyone else 
has seen this on their 58503A or Z3801A receivers.

Did you notice it happened just today, or did it start happening maybe a few 
weeks ago?

I ask because recently we passed the 3/4 mark in the current 1024-week (19.6 
year) GPS cycle. Specifically, on 2014-05-04 it was 768 weeks since the last 
rollover (1999-08-15) and 256 weeks before the next rollover (2019-03-31).

Subject: [time-nuts] 58503A date code problem


Hi All,

I have a HP/Symm 58530A that has the correct time, but date keeps
defaulting to 1994, Nov, 4 after GPS Lock.  The pre-lock is 1996, so I do
see a change when it locks, just to the wrong date.....time is exactly
correct and tracks.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
