Thanks for the reply Hal, to answer your queries briefly: there are no 
longer any signals being received!

Software-wise, I had been using NTP to get time from the unit, for 
years.  Since the problem, I've been monitoring the TSIP on port B using 
GPSD (I run Linux) however, in desperation(!) I booted Windows and am 
now using PalisadeMonitor.exe on port B, which confirms that there are 
no signals received (even several days after power-up).

I've tried issuing "cold start" and "factory reset" to no avail.  I did, 
on the bright side, manage to upgrade the firmware from 7.10 to 7.12 
(and it still booted ok!) but no signals are being received, therefore 
no PPS output.
