This operation is very typical of all of the cell site GPSDO’s. The only part that is unique to the TBolt is the ability to fiddle the loop characteristics a bit. And the fact that the GPS's CPU clock is derived from the 10MHz and therefore aligned to the PPS so there is no hanging bridge and

Hello Nuts, I have been playing a bit tuning a Thunderbolt with Lady Heather and now have more questions than answers. The collective time-nut brain would be appreciated. 1. Using the '' command I can change the damping and time constant in LH. Are these values immediately transferred to the TB?

Hi Maybe a bit more information, much of it applies to all GPSDO’s : The TBolt first goes through a process to get the OCXO roughly on frequency and to get the PPS approximately aligned. That process is not impacted by the time constant and damping. The OCXO goes a bit crazy during this
