I understand this.

I was referring to:

These two events were at least an hour apart.  The second one (1:47:36)
does not precede the first (1:47:41).

If "GPS reference valid" doesn't mean the Oncore thinks time is valid
that's okay but it only happened once and there have been multiple power
resets.  Just no others that (accidentally) happened within ~20 seconds
(the POST window I assume) of each other.

I'll wait a few days and do another power reset now that I'm ready for
concurrent monitoring of both units.

By the way the time glitch was only logged on REF 1.
