I see a couple on eBay, already bid up to $150. Seems rather a lot, but what do I know. The manual, including schematic is here: http://www.thinksrs.com/downloads/PDFs/Manuals/FS710m.pdf Comments? Orin. ___ time-nuts mailing list --

Hi Assuming it shows locked, that would suggest that (for what ever reason) it’s been re-tuned at some point after it left the factory. Bob > On Sep 20, 2015, at 9:06 PM, Nick Sayer via time-nuts > wrote: > > >> On Sep 19, 2015, at 4:20 PM, Nick Sayer via time-nuts

Dear Time-nuts, I finally found a way to measure 1pps output from my DS3231's, with a mcu unit, and modify the aging register on the RTC, I have been able to sync between 2-3 microseconds between clocks by substracting and adding 0.1ppm to 12.8ppm, with 7 bit resolution. Since the

When I got it, the setting was zero. That suggests to me that the factory tuning was erased, assuming that the factory tunes it the same way - by changing the value adjusted by that software. > On Sep 21, 2015, at 4:34 AM, Bob Camp wrote: > > Hi > > Assuming it shows locked,

Hi Can, For a simple analog solution, you might try a 74HC4046 phase detector followed by a diode and RC network as used in Lars Walenius' GPSDO, described here in the archives: https://www.febo.com/pipermail/time-nuts/2014-February/082820.html The phase detector produces a pulse whose width
