<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>

Dear John,</p>
<p>
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 <span>leapsecond</span> 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.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>
2015 marks the first time that the GPS satellite system announced the pending <span>leapsecond</span> 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 <span>leapsecond</span> correction as early as January, or showed incorrect <span>leapsecond-pending</span> data when queried due to an incorrect interpretation of the GPS specification by the firmware programmers of those GPS receivers.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>
Jackson Labs Technologies has released new firmware versions for various products that address any potential issues for the pending June <span>30<sup>th</sup></span> 2015, and future <span>leapsecond</span> events, and that add a number of additional commands to query and handle <span>leapsecond</span> events.<u></u><u></u></p>
