Well... in fact, that's sort of the question I'm asking. if one does search Ebay, what's an effective search term? Leaving aside the $60 Nike Cesiums... Were you aware that you can add terms in the search box preceded by a negative sign to exclude items that match that? ie cesium -nike

2008-06-20 Thread Mark Sims
Hello Bjorn, My OCXO is marked: Model 2000A Serial Number 311. No freq is given. It is almost certainly 10 MHz. The oscillator does have that weird D-SUB+coax on it. The PCB on the module wires it to a DB9 connector with the Dataum 1000 OCXO. Measured voltages were around 15V and 26V.

That is an RS-232 port; there's no locked line on it (although I agree there should have been.) You'll need to run TBoltMon.exe to monitor its status, or talk to Mark Sims about the dedicated Thunderbolt controller he mentioned he was developing. -- john, KE5FX -Original Message-

Thanks John, I was afraid of that, what a shame they did not include a lock line on the RS-232 Port. As I said I was trying to oversimplify. There certainly is a lot of Technology in that very small box. Good luck. Bill KD4AF On 6/20/08, John Miles [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: That is an

Here are the pinouts of the FTS 2000A OCXO jumper board in my 4060M/S24 cesium beam unit. This board makes the 2000A look like a Datum 1000 OCXO. Datum 1000 pinouts and definitions are from Brooke Clark's PRC68.COM web site. The FTS-2000A coax connects to an SMB connector. FTS 2000A Datum
