Now I'm even more confused. As of about an hour ago, the GPS UTC
offset has gone *backward* from 16 to 15 again. I'm not sure what
happened or why. At about 0700 UTC it started showing an offset
of 16 seconds. Somewhere after 1300 it stepped backwards. I still
have satellites in view, six are locked for a fix plus the one
SBAS is good.
Sounds to me like your receiver has a "default" of 15 in its NV RAM,
plus a bug preventing it from properly extracting the UTC Correction
parameter from almanac.
I agree with this diagnosis.
I'm forced to agree with it but I don't want to. :) I'm exhausting
all other possible avenues before declaring the receiver badly
programmed.
The sad part is that I have four more of these identical units. I
suspect there are many in the field considering they were used in
remote telemetry devices. I'll be disappointed if they can't be fixed
but I doubt GlobalSat even supports them anymore.
