Hey guys,

I suspect we may have a Z3801A expert on the list.

A couple of nights ago, we had a power failure.  GPSCON says that my 
Z3801A has failed self-test, but everything else looks fine:

Self Test: Err
Int Pwr:  OK
Oven Pwr:  OK
OCXO:  OK
EFC:  OK
GPS Rcv:  OK

The whole screen can be seen here:

When I command a self test via *TST? command, it returns 0, which is no 
error.

Not sure why GPSCON is reporting a self test error.  Any advice?  It 
seems to be functioning normally in all respects.  :)

thanks much and 73,
ben, kd5byb
