The Symmetricom data sheet mentions the Option AUB antenna mast. What is that? I don't find details of it. How does you mount the 58532A antenna if the Option AUB mast is not available? Steve, K8JQ On 10/1/2015 3:19 PM, Gregory Beat wrote: I received this e-mail earlier today (below) from

Hi I have one of the masts, it's just a piece of tubing. According to the instructions that came with my antenna the mast has an outer diameter of 42mm, I would expect a metal supply store could supply a suitable piece of pipe or tubing ? Hex screws in the base of the antenna clamp the

Hi all, thanks for all the suggestions. I am starting to think this is a feature not a bug. I tinkered with the FS710 a bit today. It shows about 600mVpp 100Hz sawtooth on the +/-13.9VDC input to the voltage regulators. I changed the big electrolytic caps and the smaller tantalum caps around the

There's a drawing on the spec sheet. It's just a bit of 1 5/8 tube. Try a local aerial fitter. On Fri, Oct 2, 2015 at 2:01 PM, Steve wrote: > The Symmetricom data sheet mentions the Option AUB antenna mast. What is > that? I don't find details of it. How does you mount

I shipped a bunch of ref-0 units to the UK. Saved a huge amount of shipping by buying a lot. It might not be much more expensive to ship 10 than 1. There are still a couple of patient folk on this list waiting for me to ship them on (or maybe they've given up waiting for me to be less busy).

Hi, I did measure the phase-noise of a FS710 with my TimePod and saw the same as you. Cross-correlation is a nice tool in the toolbox. It was really clear that the OSA cesium was much cleaner than the FS710 buffered variant of the signal. The sawtooth is expected, and the caps just makes

Dan - I have been following your experimentation with the surplus Lucent KS-24361 REF-0 module, to transform it into a standalone GPSDO. The original usage of the classic Oncore UT+ GPS receiver for KS-24361 REF-1, by Symmetricom / Datum for Lucent, was deliberate. For usage at a cellular

Actually, the Lucent software uses RAIM, and reports the value in its status message. If the position appears to have drifted off, or there aren't enough satellites to calculate the position, the software declares the oscillators to be free-wheeling, an expression meaning that the oscillators are

Hi Given that eBay is awash in various older uBlox devices at really low prices, going for the > $200 a unit single piece price of the LEA-8T seems a bit much. You get all of the core timing functions in the “not T” parts (including sawtooth data). The main thing you get with the 7’s (vs the 5
