Re: [time-nuts] Efratom/Datum GPSDO GPS-FC

Hi The biggest issue I see is that the module thinks it’s in the vicinity of New York City. Since it’s in position hold mode, it’s not going to lock up at your location. Next step is to watch the module dialog as it boots up. See what the CPU on the board is doing to the module at power on.

Quite difficult to see. But it appears the gps antenna cable is just hanging there not connected to what I presume would be a antenna. Regards Paul WB8TSL On Sun, May 31, 2015 at 4:47 PM, Bob Camp kb...@n1k.org wrote: Hi If you look at the pictures you can see the oscillator they are using

Its definitely VC TCXO. For the tests, I disconnected GPS-FC embedded antenna and connect it to my GPS distribution amplifier. In this case I could have GPS signal indoor. Its not perfect. But should be enough for troubleshooting. I soldered TTL Serail sniffer to GPS-FC and I got

The example circuits given on that webpage will be inferior in every way to RTL and DTL logic from the 1960's, which itself is inferior to late 60's/early 70's TTL. A good reference on how to do discrete transistor logic design from the 1960's, is TI's book Transistor Circuit Design. I just poked

The gates on that page http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/electronic/trangate.html use bipolar transistors. The 74LVC parts are CMOS. There are various effects caused by that difference. And those examples have vastly inferior control over input switching levels, compared to just
