[time-nuts] GPS message jitter (was GPS for Nixie Clock)

Very few people have the ability to build Lady Heather for Windoze from source... pretty much everybodyl uses the binary. Having people build from source is not an option (except on Linux, it's relatively painless and the tools are easily available and free, plus Linux users tend to know what

Re: [time-nuts] GPS message jitter (was GPS for Nixie Clock)

Can't you take care of this in the build system? I never go near Windows, the last version I used was Win 95. But on other systems I always use something like the GNU Auto tools cmake or whatever and part of the process is to check for the availability of each system call and library and then

Hi to all - If you have been updated to Windows 10, you have 30 days to go back to your old Windows. It takes from 5 to 30 or more minutes depending on computer speed. Here's how: http://www.howtogeek.com/220723/how-to-uninstall-windows-10-and-downgrade-to-windows-7-or-8.1/ John K1AE

Heather's gotta work with XP (and maybe Win98)... too many people (including me) run it on old trashy laptops, so no fancy pants new fangled Windoze calls allowed... In the past I've avoided the use of QueryPerformanceCounter due to potential issues with AMD processors, multi-core processors

Re: [time-nuts] GPS Antenna

It should be noted that PCTel acquired a number of antenna manufacturers (1999-2005), Antenna Specialists, Micropulse, some Andrew products, Maxrad. The GPS antenna referenced, GPS-TMG-26, is virtually identical to the earlier Maxrad GPS antenna that is found surplus through many venues.

Re: [time-nuts] GPS Antenna

Here is the original MaxRad GPS-TMG-26N antenna (same part number as PCTEL) that RF Parts is discounting (New Old Stock) for ~ $50.00 https://www.rfparts.com/antenna/antenna-antenna/gps-tmg-26nms.html === Launch3 cleared out surplus (new in box) Symmetricom 58532A GPS antennas earlier this year.

From: Mark Sims I just added some code to Lady Heather to record and plot the time that the timing message arrived from the receiver (well, actually the time that the screen update routine was called, maybe a few microseconds difference). I am using my existing GetMsec() routine which on
