DSN believes the problem to be a synchronization problem between the TCT (Time Code Translator), DCC (Downlink Channel Controller), and RRT (Receiver, Ranging, and Telemetry). DSN has assigned Anomaly Number 118875 to this problem. DSN has linked this problem to one found with Voyager (DR#N109529). IMPACT: Since the ERT deviation is short (~3 minutes), it has negligible impact on the clock calibration report sent to ASC and NOAA SWPC.

IMPACT: Minimal. 6 minute telemetry outage (1525z-1531z) including data to NOAA SWPC. Playback data was redumped at the end of the pass.
