[time-nuts] Spectracom 8195 position hold

2015-06-08 Thread Paul Davis
I'm wondering if any other Spectracom 8195 users out there can shed some light on this. According to the manual, the specs are related to operating in 'position hold'. However, there seems to be no way to set position hold mode, or tell if it's in effect. (Well, there seems to be a RS485

Nat Semi App Note 72 page 18, par. 6.4 shows the configuration for bandpass active filter. This matches the last LM3900 stage, so you would seem to be correct. The shift in filter frequency for 200bps is because the higher modulation rate results in a greater frequency shift. It's like 50hz

According to a document I just found (http://tf.boulder.nist.gov/general/pdf/1743.pdf) it would seem that the naval transmitters are at least .05 10e-9. I don't imagine they have gotten worse since that was published (1967!). So maybe not quite as good as WWVB (which was then spec'ed at .02
