[time-nuts] Brooks Shera's GPS standard or HP Z3801A??

2005-04-25 Thread Dr. David Kirkby
I was going to build the GPS reference by Brooks Shera http://www.rt66.com/~shera/index_fs.htm and have bought the PCB and started populating it (not much yet). But now I am wondering if buying a used Z3801A might not be a better idea. My thoughts are: 1) Cost - the Z3801A will probably cost less

John, Reset is really about the only way to do it unless you can see what messages are coming out and disable them one at a time. If you have LOTS of time you can just cycle through all the messages and shut them off, but resetting is probably the easiest thing to do. Randy Warner Senior
