I just can't resist, we at Nokia had a policy regarding misstakes and errors,
it's ok! You can make as many misstakes you doo, BUT do not make the same
misstake twice!
Now retired and making sofisticated short circuits in my home lab, hi.

Way back when the LightSquared controversy was brought to our
attention I went on the their site and wrote a complaint on the
contact page. Sure it doesn't affect me right now but who knows about
their global ideas and I thought that another lone voice of descent
may make the reconsider imposing
I did this with our newly installed Thunderbolt. When I plugged the
coordinates into Google Earth, the center of the image was dead on with the
skylight where the antenna is.
Not just pointing at the skylight, but the correct part of the skylight.
Could be coincidence, but I'd say the error
I have a problem with the data out of the thunderbolt serial port. I was
monitoring with
ko4bb monitor and the thunderbolt quit sending data.
I seem to remember some discussion of this on the list some time ago. I
did a
search but didn't find anything.
Any suggestion ? Otherwise I will
Search the archive for the subject: Thunderbolt repair
and Thunderbolt quits.
Brian found a bad voltage on his power supply.
Perhaps your PC's power-saving feature?
Is your Microsoft Windows serial mouse feature disabled?
If it is not communicating at all, have you tried a different
baud
There are potential failure issues with the TBolt and the monitor. Have you
tried the TBolt with a computer?
I had a TBolt die but would still put out 10 MHz. No serial data and no PPS
though. Have you looked to see if there is 10 MHz and a PPS?
If the issue is the TBolt, make sure the
Google earth isn't very accurate, so I would chalk this up to coincidence.
There is a USGS website with accurate waypoints, some of which are visible via
satellite. (Literally X marks the spot. They can be seen on google earth.) I
don't recall the URL at the moment, but I'm sure somebody on the
True, but my setup isn't very portable. I'm happy, I'm getting my 10.00
MHz output and it's WAY more accurate than I need.
The rest is delicious bacon gravy!

The Motorola software (Winoncore, Google will find it at

actually two averages it give s a running mean and a running
least squares and plots both on Lat Long. My Oncore GPS is
connected to a LInux based server but I run the Win XP

Speculation is welcome.

Many thanks for the data, Dan. I am assuming that the mods were done
on the 5MHz boards? Would seem logical...
Thanks again for the info!!
Dave, that's all I had. It was originally 5Mhz in and 12 x 5 out.

Fluke.l is using my design except for a number of units which were shipped with
0 ohm resistors where the 3 diodes were supposed to go. This powers the CPU
with 5 V instead of 3 and most don't last long at that voltage. However, the
symptom is a blank display.
Also, I understand some units

That may be so Chris, but Didier's original design is fine. I have had

Hi Hal.
The manufacturers logo consists of the lower case letters ila next to an
hour glass. The instruction book calls it a talking atomic alarm clock. It
is somewhat of a battery hog. They have to be replaced every 2 or 3 months.
