Hi What is your goal? Do you want something that works as well as a $125 eBay GPSDO? What is your end application? Do you have a cheap source of 100 Hz wide 10 MHz crystal filters? The main problem with a simple approach like the one you propose is that the filter is probably to

David, the 82335 drivers came with the complete SW package that I sent you. I don't know if the drivers and SW are running with any more recent or non MS versions than MS-DOS 6.0. But, it's as easy to find out as it gets. Back in the day the whole OS fitted on a floppy disk and 640k of memory,

Many of the Navman T60-D125 units are floating around on various sales sites. Unfortunately, some come with built in problems and poor documentation. Here are some things that I have found in working with one for the past year. 1) If you have found that communicating with the unit on the

Hi Bob, Thanks for taking the time to explain the 4ns and 20ns wanders.  I have just been calling them constellation errors without being able to explain it better than that.  I've also wondered how much of the 20ns, if any, is attributable to the PRS-45A. I still don't have the antenna

Hi Let’s step back a bit: Your module is accurate to maybe 2 ns over a short period of time and something in the 10 to 20 ns range over 24 hours. The 2 ns comes from a variety of issues. The 20 ns comes mainly from the ionosphere. One example of a part of the 2 ns - the satellite positions in

As anyone with a Nortel GPSTM knows, it's a close cousin to the Thunderbolt but not exactly identical. Notably, coming from a CDMA environment, the unit has an even second output, aka PP2S, aka 0.5pps, aka 0.5Hz, etc. (Hoping to make this searchable...) There are software commands to configure

Hi Nate, Nice page. Thanks for sharing your work. The Nortel units are a reasonable and slightly cheaper alternative to a TBolt, if you don't mind the much larger size, mass, and non-standard connector issues. The performance depends somewhat on which vendor's oscillator was used. I tested a

Ole - These became obsolete in 1999. Actually led to development of TAC-2 board (TAPR) in 1996. Tom Clark, K3IO could tell you about the FTS 8400 usage with the VLBI large dish array in 1980s and 1990s. Scroll down the TAC32Plus software notes for discussion on Trimble FTS 8400.
