[time-nuts] Austron 1210D-03 Manual?

2006-10-27 Thread John Ackermann N8UR
I managed to pick up the Austron 1210D-03 portable clock that was offered up here a little while ago, and the thing is ticking away nicely on my bench. However, I don't have any docs for it, and in particular the PPS sync and slew controls on the front aren't entirely self-explanatory. Does

John - I also have the same clock. Mine came from ebay so I am sure I paid a lot more for it than you did, HI. I did an initial checkout and it seems to work fine. All of the NiCd batteries in it are dead and I have not done anything with the clock till I can find some suitable replacements. I

[time-nuts] Austron oscillator coarse adjust?

2006-10-27 Thread John Ackermann N8UR
While messing with the 1210D-03 I found that the frequency is a bit low (about -1Hz) and is beyond the range of the fine adjust on the front panel. There's a coarse adjust hole on the rear panel, but using various tuning tools including a long, thin screwdriver I can't seem to engage the

It is back to the previous method of sending a clean CW signal. I did not participate previously, so I have no experience with the test. If I understand correctly, they will transmit on all 3 frequencies simultaneously, but we are supposed to measure only the specific band they announce at a

They only do their measurement at the time they announce each band, but all the signals are running simultaneously so you can use them if you dare. John Didier Juges said the following on 10/27/2006 09:06 PM: It is back to the previous method of sending a clean CW signal. I did not
