[time-nuts] Re: HP/Symmetricom 59551A showing wrong date

[Bill Beam]

The date Mar 2002 is a 1024 week roll over error.  Time should be accurate.

If you are using Z38XX program the receiver status does not update time in real time.
The program has a view/clock display feature that does show date/time in real time.
