Hi, I've changed the blown MMBT3904 in the antenna sense circuit and I still have no 5V to the antenna. I measure 0.5V DC on the F connector. There are two Murata filters (F2 and F3) on the RF path to the antenna. In between the two silver colored filters is a 6 lead SOT package marked 51A.

there is no reason for an eclipse to affect time. However, working on the 1999 data made available by the German group, I had found a periodicity in the noise in one of the time series. In particular, a pattern (a peak) was repeated every 35 minutes, which was the periodicity recorded by a

I'm all for building NTPD from source (as a former refclock developer). But for those not building from source and wanting to install on Windows, Meinberg NTPD's self-installing package is very easy and does everything right. They distribute this for free. I think they've done a great service.
