[time-nuts] indoor GPS test II and questions

2008-02-27 Thread Ronald Held
I was able to get the watch to lock up multiple times of the day on my window sill. Now what do you suggest, besides a small antenna that fits on the window sill behind the blinds? Can a RS232 output be send in via a RS232-USB cable and have the PC programs use the inputs?

I recently bought a version on the Mainnav GPS watch. I went outside and let it sync up. I turned it off and when inside. I turned it on along with the GPS function. It locked up within a few minutes. I will leave it off for a while and try again. I would post a picture, but do not know if the list

By the way, If you do get a Garmin 15, make sure it is the "H" or "L" model which has WAAS. The regular model "15," which is cheaper, does not have WAAS. BillWB6BNQ WB6BNQ wrote: > If you go to the Garmin web site and look at their OEM page, you can order the > OEM versions for around $55

If you go to the Garmin web site and look at their OEM page, you can order the OEM versions for around $55 from Garmin directly. I have one of their models, a 15xx OEM module (including the pigtail cable). It has PPS stated as good to 1us but I was told it was actually good to 100ns with SA turn

Hi, I bought a Garmin GPS 17, which also has PPS, for about $100 from an online dealer. This model runs off 8 to 40 volts, so runs off 12V quite well, has 5V logic PPS, as well as connections for serial input to a PC. Neville Michie On 25/01/2008, at 6:16 PM, Hal Murray wrote: > >> The GPS

I am no expert on the relative merits of GPS units but I needed PPS signals so I bought a Garmin GPS 17. It came from an on-line retailer who seemed to discount and would deal with someone on the other side of the Pacific. (Sydney) About $100. The device is an antenna and receiver in a mast hea
