V2.22 of the GPS clock software includes a bug whereby if the clock locks to only a single satellite, it never turns off. The situation may be improved by increasing the clock’s view of the sky so as to allow it to lock to more than one satellite. The software will be replaced as available. All of the GPS clocks should now have V3.X or higher in which this particular bug is not a problem. (submitted 2/10/99) 4.1.
