Hi Not just positive and negative, is the even second output closer than the pps output. Since you have dug a signal out of the guts of the thing, you need to qualify what it actually is. Bob On Jun 13, 2015, at 7:30 PM, Hal Murray hmur...@megapathdsl.net wrote: kb...@n1k.org said:

Ignacio, I would very much appreciate a copy of whatever schematics you have, even if it is not guaranteed to be 100% accurate I agree with you that the 9.9804 Mhz is basically useless, while the even second pulse is merely almost useless. However, as you have apparently looked the board over

Hi Ed, While your board is not exactly the same as mine I think that the schematics are almost identical but the TPs and probably the chip names has changed. I think that the main difference is that your unit can be powered with -48 V or +24 V and obviously the parts layout has changed. I

I agree with you that the 9.9804 Mhz is basically useless, ... Is it really useless? How stable or clean is it? Would it be useful as the reference input to a DMTD? I believe the antenna cable feed delay is going to work in the wrong direction here Have you tried a negative number?

Hi Ed, I am the one who discovered the 1PPS pulse while troubleshooting a NTG550AA. Instead of reuse the 1/2 PPS output and missing this signal, my plan is to recycle the 9.8304 MHz output circuitry and connector, the circuits are almost identical. So I will cut the trace that goes from
