was explained to me that they have older firmware in them and will not work
unless they had the new week rollover number programmed into them. Most, as
I said, have old firmware, before the new rollover was introduced. I believe
right now only two of mine work. I used to have three working, but, one of
them quit a few years ago, for no apparent reason. With too many projects, I
have not had much time to look into it. Also, programming them from the
front panel is a real pain. Regards - Mike

Sounds like you're doing everything right.  9390s are plug-and-play by
nature, so I'd have to wonder if there's some front-end damage to the GPS
receiver.
