Lucent KS-24361 GPS Time vs. UTC

I now have my KS-24361 operating and I've successfully communicated via RS232 (using the hack described previously) with both SatStat and GPSCon using Win7. The time I'm getting out of the unit is the GPS time (+16 seconds). I've tried to convert the time to UTC by first changing the mode from continuous output to a manual time update(:PTIM:TCOD:CONT 0), and then changing the time to UTC from GPS using the :PTIM:UTC 1 command. Neither of these commands seem to work with this unit.

Has anyone experienced this and did you come up with a solution?

Thanks.

Mitch.

Hi

Which port are you putting the commands into?

The box may respond to some things on the Diag port that it does not respond to on the PPS port. I have not investigated this, but it is a possibility.
