<p>Unfortunately sometime FG GPS start continues reporting of the same
25
date. The only way to fix this problem is GPS power cycling and ntpd
26
restart after GPS power-up.

After Jan,10 2000 my FG GPS unit start send a wrong answer after 10:00am
29
till 11:00am. It repeat hour value in result string twice. I wroite a small
30
code to avoid such problem. Unfortunately I have no second FG GPS unit
31
to evaluate this problem. Please let me know if your GPS has no problems

<p>Each timecode is written to the <tt>clockstats</tt> file in the format
