[time-nuts] FEI Nanosync 2

[Eric Scace]

Hi —

   In a parallel life I work as a broadcast radio engineer. An AM transmitter's hybrid digital control system contains an embedded FEI Nanosync 2 GPS receiver. The GPS time data appears to suffer from a week 1024 rollover problem, causing the control system to believe (and broadcast) a date around 2000 November (if I remember correctly).

   I can get access to the serial port to the FEI Nanosync 2 card. Does anyone have experience or suggestions as to how to force this receiver to the proper date?

   Thanks for any help.
