Yes, it would be nice to be able to load the log file and resume from that position, but what about the gap between when you stopped logging and restarted? That would destroy the integrity of the OADEV/ADEV numbers. You could just ignore the gap in the graphs, but the OADEV numbers would

If someone is taking suggestions, I just thought it would be nice if I could get 9 values for the accumulated amount of time spent receiving N satellites, where N goes from 0 to 8. (Or more, for newer T-Bolts.) Seems like it would be useful for evaluating and comparing the quality of antenna site

Correct (although it only takes one to exit if you're not in review mode.) I may add the ability to lock/unlock the keyboard in an upcoming version, so that it'll ignore any accidental user input. I agree that it would be cool if the initial graph contents could be obtained by reading the log fi

John, I just started playing around with Lady Heather (for some reason, that sounds kinky :-) ) Any chance of adding the ability to read from the log file when starting, so the graphs/stats can be recovered from a log? And optionally, continue collecting/adding data to that log, as might be d

The parameters need to be outside the quotes, or they're considered part of the executable filename itself. (When I posted the latest version the other day, I added an example -- see http://www.ke5fx.com/heather/readme.htm and click on the small image of the shortcut dialog.) -- john, KE5FX > T

Hello, John-- Every now and then, LH says my T-bolt PPS and DAC are experiencing wide excursions. The PPS OADEV and the OSC OADEV both stay down around 6 X e-13 but PPS and DAC both get hinky for an hour or two and then things settle back down for a few hours. This process seems to repeat itself

Dear fellow time-nuts! Enrico asked me to forward this to you, and I am happy to. I received my copy monday and is very excited about getting into this volume! It sums up much of his writing and presentations on oscillators and phase noise. There's even a nice phase-noise plot of various distri

In my case, I have a large number of low angle peaks and valleys (hence the leakage issue); my sky view is really good, and I'm planning on putting a set of parallel horizontal bars about 18" apart between my 4" sewer riser and another point about 15' away. All cables will be going through a 5"
