[time-nuts] Spectracom 9189 no longer syncing after power cycle and WRNO? Anyone else have same issue?

Suggestion. See if you can upgrade the firmware if possible.
Then turn on and let it run a long time like days.
I had another product that thought the date was 1 jan 2019.
No way to set the date. Stupid. But giving it a long time it must have
finally hit a satellite and figure everything out.
So give it some serious time and if there is a serial access see what date
and time it thinks it is.
Hope that helps.
Regards
Paul.
