This is a long shot but I am hoping that someone might be able to give me some Hints as to a problem that I am
 having with a Used 151-601 XL-DC Receiver that I recently purchased. When I first fired it up it showed a date of 
1990 so I updated the Date to the current one using an "F" function and then went through a 24 hour Auto Mode set up.
 Once the receiver went into Time mode at the end of set up. I pushed the Location button and noted A good Lat, Lon 
and elevation had been established. The LCD was showing 3D for the most part and 5 or 6 SAT PRN's. Looking at Osc 
Stats I see Offsets ranging from the 10 -10 to 10 -12, Drift 10-08 to 10-09, Phase 10-08 to 10-10 and DAC ranging very slowly
 from 15950 up to 16400 or so. Now the bad news after days of operation when I run an F73 "Show Faults I am still showing 
GPS Unlocked,  Position, Time Unknown (Even though a Lat, Lon had been established and UTC had been added through
 a Function command), and lastly a Time Error and Acquisition Error.  I seem to be acquiring the satellites but not decoding
 their full message. I am not sure if this is due to a mistake I am making or a receiver failure. Any suggestions 
that anyone can give would be ever so greatly appreciated for I am at a loss and so far my web searches have been 
fruitless. Thank you all for your consideration in this..... Herb Belin Mensa999 at aol.com  or  413 530 0048
Sorry for the repeats on this but I guess I have to ad carrige returns manually...
