Mine didnt. I hadnt checked untill it occurred to me that it might explain the reason I got kicked off about 5 different irc networks simultaneously at about 1 oclock..

I just checked it just now, with the date set at 2021 you get an 'invalid arguement' error when trying to resynch.. i manually set it back and resynched...

I just saw three other Trutime GPS units perform similar acrobatics. bigben.clix.net.nz is a Trutime GPS clock. Looks (to me) more like a Trutime bug than a generic GPS clock bug.

Yep - just turned on my Garmin II+ and it looks fine. So I'm inclined to agree that it's a Trutime problem rather than a generic GPS issue.

Also interesting to note that linux ntp just looked at bigben and said "PFFFT right - not believeing you anymore" and went to an anternate server.

Good dog!
