Hi Andy, Luciano, thank you for sharing your design, did you wind your own inductors? Odd values.. Typically when designing filters I start by fixing the inductor values and work backwards... Yes I have wind the inductors, it is simple and ceap. If you have a Network analyzer can fine tune

Hello Fellow time nuts, I received a Datum 9390 GPS receiver I bought off eBay today. It had a PSU fault and I am running it off a bench supply until I can get the PSU working again. All the PSU does is supplies 28V so I can probably adopt a more recent supply to fit if I can't fix the old

The question here, I think was about the day-to-day shaking, not a once in a lifetime event. Seriously if there was a 1+g acceleration who'd care if their OCXO was still running under that pile of rubble that used to be a house. It is the days-to-day level stuff that matters to time keeping

There was definitely a delay -- I saw it on my own message last evening. I have done some performance tuning on the mail server that might (or might not...) make a difference. The new server we put on line back in January certainly has enough horsepower, so hopefully tweaking is all it will

Hi, One should be careful with transformers, since they can bite you in interesting ways. While they give galvanic isolation, they also act like a capacitive divider. Just a primary and secondary coil will connect to each other, and it is not uncommon for the connection to be asymmetric. A
