Because the roll over is a pain.
Thats good engineering if they checked that far.
What happens if you have a receiver that doesn't handle it correctly is you
do not tend to get satellite lock because the dates all wrong.
You cheat this "The pain part" by figuring out what the date should have
been by subtracting 1024 weeks. Seems easy right. Nope.
That works for the old austron. But as I say serious thinking. There are
some online tools that help. But it all gets old very fast.
