That's what I remember.
The first problem is that the Z3801 doesn't accept dates after 2007. It
gives an E-222 error. (I forget the text, it's something like out-of-range.)
I didn't search for the exact cutoff. I just edited the year and tried
again, so it's somewhere in 2007 or 2008.
The second problem is that I'm using an "antenna challenged" setup. So it
takes a while to latch on to the satellites.
But I tried again. This time, I set it to 2007 and after waiting long
enough, GPS got synced and time jumped to the correct time.
Thanks for the poke.

Then I shifted to the KS-24361
It doesn't complain about the dates it doesn't like. It just doesn't do
anything with them.
It takes dates after 2007. I forget the exact break point.
But when the GPS syncs up, it jumps to 1998. ?? Sigh.
