I removed the antenna, power cycled, set the date, status looked good.
Then I reconnected the antenna.
After a while, if found some satellites and time jumped back to 1998.

Did I miss a step?

I used ":GPS:INIT:DATE 2016,09,05"
It was leftover from the last time I set the date on some HP box.
I just cut/pasted from my notes.

I suspect that using 2016 instead of 2017 caused it to be over ridden as the week number could be pre-rollover or outside error limits.
