Can someone point me to the source where the"known fault" of the Jupiter
listed below is documented??

I have a bunch of these engines and would like to see this documentation.

Tnx!

Hi Geoff!

This afternoon, :-( ,I got an opportunity to run my jupiter in binary
mode again. It had been running in NMEA mode, when switched to binary
it was 2 seconds late in binary mode. But had bit set saying that
'time mark not valid' After some 15 minutes it ran ok again, still
do.  First strange behaviour I have seen in binary mode. Regret
missing the leap second, but I would not be surprised if my jupiter
would have shown problems.

Anybody running a jupiter in binary mode over the event?
