[time-nuts] Re: Firmware WNRO fix for S300/S350 and XLi

[Gregory Beat]

   

   Microsemi released their notice on the SyncServers in 2022.

   Useful as background.

   One Florida eBay seller is upgrading units with a uBlox receiver.

   This audiophile / broadcast reseller was unaware of WNRO, a decade ago.

   As many folks on this list are probably aware, the GPS week number
   rollover (WNRO) periodically causes older GPS receivers to misbehave.
   One solution is to replace the problematic GPS module with a newer
   one.
   But many of these older modules will still work, they just need a bit
   of
   help, in the form of providing a hint about the current year.
