After several years, the almanac is way out of date. So how does it know where to look for satellites? Or, if it has an up-to-date almanac, it's listening to satellites. ?? What are you using for software to show the satellites? Did anything change in that area? Have you tried Lady Heather? Can you do a system reset so it starts clean? Are the 10 MHz and PPS out accurate? -- These are my opinions. I hate spam.

Thanks for the reply Hal, to answer your queries briefly: there are no longer any signals being received! Software-wise, I had been using NTP to get time from the unit, for years.  Since the problem, I've been monitoring the TSIP on port B using GPSD (I run Linux) however, in desperation(!) I booted Windows and am now using PalisadeMonitor.exe on port B, which confirms that there are no signals received (even several days after power-up). I've tried issuing "cold start" and "factory reset" to no avail.  I did, on the bright side, manage to upgrade the firmware from 7.10 to 7.12 (and it still booted ok!) but no signals are being received, therefore no PPS output.

Steve, Can you upload a current almanac to the receiver from the win software? /Björn Sent from my Phone > On 24 Sep 2022, at 12:39, Steve Platt via time-nuts <time-nuts@lists.febo.com> wrote: > > On 23/09/2022 20:54, Hal Murray wrote: >> That combination seems strange.
