I put my 3801 back in service the day before yesterday, or tried to. It’s been on the shelf for about a year (off).
I powered it up, and while it sees a few sats, it will not acquire any. Changing to a known good antenna (off the NTP server) makes no difference.
Anyone seen the behavior before? The location data is good, but the time/date are way out.
Thanks!

Probably GPS week rollover. I think the fix is to power it up with the antenna disconnected, set te date and time manually and then reconnect the antenna.
Thanks!
