Hello to the group, I just got another Telefunken ZA 100 KK Masterclock with IRIG A and IRIG B outputs. This was a time standard used by German Bundeswehr and has an Oscilloquartz B-1325 5MHz OXCO. It is probably about 40 years old. It uses an old style HP cabinet which was used with the HP

Hi Rob, I don't know if there's new firmware. For most of my GPSDO I don't actually need date & time so it's been less of a priority for me to deal with gps rollover events. Anyone else on the list have Odetics CommSync's and can report on their status? /tvb - Original Message -

[time-nuts] Odetics Telecom CommSync - GPS Rollover Problem.

2018-03-23 Thread Rob Kimberley via time-nuts
I wonder if Tom Van Baak can help me on this one. Recently powered mine up for the first time in a few years. Although the unit survived the original GPS Rollover, it obviously can't cope with the subsequent one, and is currently showing June 01, 1998 as I type this.. Tom, as you bought

Martin NIST did preserve the AM data so that the cheapy clocks typically worked. But phase tracking receivers don't. Regards Paul WB8TSL On Fri, Mar 23, 2018 at 5:35 AM, Martin Burnicki < martin.burni...@burnicki.net> wrote: > paul swed write: > > I'll add to the comments the spectracoms are

Hi There is a *lot* of analysis on the WWVB change in the archives. The bottom line seems to be that the change did not impact wall clocks and watches. The number of companies running WWVB phase synchronous gear *appears* to have been near zero at the time of the change. There certainly was no

The AM modulation stuff is not affected also by the new WWVB signal. The WWVB problem affecting timing and frequency receivers is the 180deg phase modulation where the DFC77 is only 13deg and is randomized so that the mean phase is zero. On Fri, Mar 23, 2018 at 10:35 AM, Martin Burnicki
