[hpsdr] (From Jackson Labs) Fwd: Leapsecond Event and Firmware Release

[John C. Westmoreland, P.E.]

Open HPSDR'ers,

Please see the below from Jackson Labs regarding firmware updates and the
Leap Second event.  The Leap Second is scheduled to occur at 4:59:60 local
time here in California on June 30th, Tuesday, which is still tomorrow as I
write this.

Please let me know for those of you that may have devices from Jackson Labs
if I can be of any help; can't guarantee we'll beat the Leap Second
deadline but the important thing is to get the firmware updated.

73's,
John

Dear John,

The first half of 2015 has been a very busy time for Jackson Labs
Technologies with the introduction of numerous new products and the release
of significant firmware upgrades, as well as preparing for the imminent
arrival of a very unusual mid-year leapsecond event which has already
caused significant problems for many legacy systems in the field. We would
like to take this opportunity to inform you about our first newsletter
which introduces various new products and firmware upgrades that are
available now.

2015 marks the first time that the GPS satellite system announced the
pending leapsecond event several months ahead of the actual event, rather
than just 30 days prior to the event as had been the legacy convention.
Several legacy GPS receivers immediately and incorrectly applied a
leapsecond correction as early as January, or showed incorrect
leapsecond-pending data when queried due to an incorrect interpretation of
the GPS specification by the firmware programmers of those GPS receivers.

Jackson Labs Technologies has released new firmware versions for various
products that address any potential issues for the pending June 30th 2015,
and future leapsecond events, and that add a number of additional commands
to query and handle leapsecond events.
