[time-nuts] Incorrect date on Thunderbolt

[Gregory Beat]

Keith -

IF you use Lady Heather software, with your Trimble Thunderbolt,
the Date Correction is handled in PC software.

The original Trimble Thunderbolts (Red) have the WNRO issue.

User Manual, version 5.0

911 Centers around USA found this problem in 2017, causing short panic, 
since Trimble did not have sufficient inventory of Thunderbolt E models.

Trimble offers NO firmware updates or correction for the issue.

Subject: [time-nuts] Incorrect date on Thunderbolt

Apologies if this equine has been flagellated, but I wasn't pulling up 
anything in searches.

I pulled my Thunderbolt out of mothballs this week. It initialized and 
started tracking satellites very nicely, but the date is showing 
'16Nov00'. The day has incremented at UTC midnight the past 2 days and 
the time is accurate.

Is this a known issue? Suggestions on correcting?

Thanks,
Keith
