My scrounging luck pulsed this morning, netting me a cheap ($47 with shipping) TrueTime NTS-100 from That Auction Site. It was billed as a 'tech special,' in that the seller claimed it powered up but he was unable to get it to lock to an IRIG signal. Unless I'm mistaken,

Not me, no. However, still, no big... It'll be interesting to see what I can do with it once it gets here. Another thing that occurs to me is it may have been field upgraded by a previous owner. I just won't know for a week or two. Thanks much. *** REPLY
