Using an rtcm , garmin 18x, the date reported was" Current Time: Sun Oct 28, 2001 22:55:32.000" Using firmware " S/W Version: Chuck-1.50-SMT-WA1JHK 01/06/2021a " A second site reports the same time too using above software . One rtcm reboots some of the time , other times it does not go through the bootloader phase and simply does nothing , a reset or power cycle brings it back . One other strange thing , had some issues using telnet and this particular rtcm , allowed login but never produced a menu just froze .Ip was correct changed ip then back saved (99 ) seems to work via telnet after . Has anyone seen these issues and is there an easy fix ? ---

Check out this topic for new firmware that may fix the date problem. > [@RTCM/VOTER Updated Firmware](https://community.allstarlink.org/t/rtcm-voter-updated-firmware/18451): > > I am not going to get in to the politics of the Github repo. I forked the RTCM/VOTER firmware part, prior to things going sideways, so I could do some development. You can find my current work at: [https://github.com/ve7fet/voter](https://github.com/ve7fet/voter) If you look through the Releases, you will see I have made a bunch of changes to the code. Up to you, if you want to experiment. I have run them all on through-hole (VOTER) board, as well as on RTCM’s. Lots of comments have been added to the code, after going over it … ---

I hear Dave @WB6WTM already mentioned this to you but (for the benefit of others who may be reading this) the Garmin firmware may need an update. > [@Strange RTCM GPS behavior](https://community.allstarlink.org/t/strange-rtcm-gps-behavior/15660/2): > > Looks like I may have found an answer to the second issue I was seeing with incorrect date on my third RTCM, and it even might even have something to do with the first problem I mentioned. It looks like the Garmin’s firmware wasn’t coded to rollover during the “GPS Rollover” event on April 26, 2019. I noted that the Hours/Minutes/Seconds was being read exactly correctly at the same on all three RTCMs’ consoles, but the week and year was obviously off on the third RTCM (953192179 vs the 15725073… ---
