Re: [time-nuts] Lessay and Soutons French LORAN Stations Shutting Down

Hi Yes, the Austron (at least the one I ran back in the 80’s) really does not care if it has a master or not. If you want traceability of the signal, it needs the master. Navigation wise, the slaves become useless once the master for that chain goes off the air. Unless there is a new master

Re: [time-nuts] Lessay and Soutons French LORAN Stations Shutting Down

Iain Sorry to hear that. Much like the US a lost valuable reference. That said at least the following Austrons will work on the secondaries and only require 1 station. 2000, 2100, 2100F. I use them on secondaries all of the time. Just punch in the gri and then select secondary on the 2100 and just

Re: [time-nuts] RG 6 U couplings

I wouldn't get too hung up over fire rating on such cables. Your house and shop is littered with PVC cabling that will make lots of nice toxic smoke if it burns. Fire rated cable, also known as plenum cable, is special because it is meant to be run in the ducting spaces for the HVAC system in a

[time-nuts] FE 405/5680/5650 caution !!!!

A word of caution. In the last three years we have experienced problems with the RS 232 interface. We know that wrong messages can contaminate the code in the controller permanently preventing lock. We suspect switch bounce or connect or disconnect while under power. With the cost of these

Re: [time-nuts] Lessay and Soutons French LORAN Stations Shutting Down

Hi Iain I too received this news, sad day indeed:-( I've regularly received Lessay ok on the 2100 when Anthorn has been down so can't say I've ever received a slave, Anthorn, with the master, Lessay actually out of range but although I've not specifically monitored to check I've never

[time-nuts] Lessay and Soutons French LORAN Stations Shutting Down

Hi Folks Received this sad message re Lessay and Soustons LORAN stations. Would guess that France-Inter/TDF won't be far behind, as IIRC France had decided to cease all LW transmissions, but I still hope :) > CONTROL CENTER BREST AND THE TWO FRENCH LORAN STATIONS (LESSAY 6731M/7499X AND >

Re: [time-nuts] Data collection from 5115A phase noise test set?

Thanks for these useful comments! It seems there is no way to estimate frequency from looking at the phase data then? Does TimeLab have automated collection for the frequency-counter data on the control port? Anders On Fri, Dec 11, 2015 at 2:51 AM, John Miles wrote: > > Hi

Re: [time-nuts] Lessay and Soutons French LORAN Stations Shutting Down

And with some Luck the US appears very interested in eLORAN. I have my Austrons running right now on 87900. They have one transmitter. But it emits the master and a fake secondary (Y). This is a 2 week test but there have been a number of longer duration tests starting this year. Regards Paul

[time-nuts] 1st Batch FE-405B sold out

Dear Time-Nuts, Thanks for the enthusiastic response to the FE-405B units! All of the oscillators that Corby had characterized have been sold. People that requested multiple units will get one to start and have been put on the list for the next round, so that they could be spread as far as
