[time-nuts] KS-24361 "NO GPS"

[Bob Camp]

Hi

On all my box pairs, the “NO GPS” lights all go out on all boxes once everything is “GOOD” as you define it.  A properly operating pair will have a STBY light (and only that light) on one box. The other box will have only the ON light lit.

Based on what I’ve seen. I’d suspect the cable between the two units as the source of (almost) any problem before I’d dig into the rest of the system.
