GPS Week Number

The GPS Week Number count began at midnight on the evening of 05 January 1980 / morning
of 06 January 1980. Since that time, the count has been incremented by 1 each week, and
broadcast as part of the GPS message. The GPS Week Number field in the data stream is
modulo 1024. This meant that at the completion of week 1023, the GPS week number rolled
over to 0 on midnight GPS Time of the evening of 21 August 1999 / morning of 22 August 1999.

The NCT-2000D and NCT-2100D use an adjusted 16-bit integer (U16) in the data to avoid this
confusion. They can handle up to week 65535.
