Well quite an unpleasant surprise. So after the 30th do the TBolts stop working or is it a case of just the wrong date? I know my Hp3801s been working just fine and its old. Is the TBolt the same issue. Wrong date but still locks thats all I care about actually. With to respect of some sort of a hack I can see that being fairly difficult. Regards Paul WB8TSL
