[time-nuts] Z3801A gps week rollover

[Tom Van Baak]

Paul,

IIRC, we've never heard reports of GPSDO pulse or frequency outputs being affected by rollovers. In GPS there are internal rollovers every 1, 256, and 1024 weeks but the 1PPS and 10 MHz outputs are not dependent on any of these events. The same is true for leap seconds; they may be mishandled by some GPS receivers, but they have no effect on 1PPS or 10 MHz outputs.
