[time-nuts] Lucent RFTG-U - add GPS module

2013-07-20 Thread Mark C. Stephens
I noticed the Lucent RFTG-U has mounting for a Motorola type GPS module. Has anyone successfully mounted a GPS module in a Lucent RFTG-U and got it working? Different firmware? -marki ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe,

Azelio, I had an interesting experience with the same symptoms tonight. I inserted a 6 dB pad on the antenna input and it appears to alleviated the problem. Perhaps the GPS module is being overloaded with too much signal? --marki -Original Message- From: time-nuts-boun...@febo.com

Marki Funny timing. I am working on a 10811 from a z3801 and am working towards opening the can its soldered. Steve Smiths posts have been very helpful. But I am dealing with lots of black melted goo. Not really from heat. Just age the way a lot of things deteriorate. That said I will be trying to

Paul, If the 10811 is that far off, are you sure the oven is working? A few years ago mine had a failure of a particular date code range of the opamp that controls the oven, that were prone to failure.at high temperature. The symptom in the Z3801A was that the outer oven seemed bad - it did

Hi If a 10811 oven is simply not working, the output will be 400 Hz off frequency. Bob On Jul 19, 2013, at 12:48 PM, ed breya e...@telight.com wrote: Paul, If the 10811 is that far off, are you sure the oven is working? A few years ago mine had a failure of a particular date code

Hello to the group. As the various posts mention pulling the outer oven and taped wire off is a job. But thats done. The Osc is 45 Hz low hot and 200 Hz low cold. Bobs on target with his comment on what to expect. It does warm up and behave as you might expect but its all relative not exact even

I did a quick check of the antenna current on a normal (un-attenuated) vs. the attenuated receiver: Normal: Antenna current: 26.470589 Attenuated: Antenna current: 32.352940 Slightly higher, but well within range. --marki -Original Message- From: time-nuts-boun...@febo.com

Hi Pad = resistor in series with the dc. That will drop the voltage on the amp in the antenna. Not a good idea. Bob Sent from my iPhone On Jul 20, 2013, at 9:26 PM, Mark C. Stephens ma...@non-stop.com.au wrote: I did a quick check of the antenna current on a normal (un-attenuated) vs.

Bob - Pad is connected between Distribution amp that powers antenna from separate supply. Good idea. I haven't bothered measuring the voltage at the output of the pad, perhaps a simple calculation for you? --marki -Original Message- From: time-nuts-boun...@febo.com
