[time-nuts] 300 ms offset glitch from TBolt

2008-07-15 Thread Hal Murray
Has anybody seen anything like this? The data below is from ntpd's clockstats file. There is no PPS on this system, but it's synced to a nearby machine that does keep good time. The TBolt is using the serial port in noselect (aka monitor) mode. I'm just collecting data like this rather than

The strength of the station seems to effect the size of the jumps. I switched from 7980 Master to the Grangeville, LA secondary ( a stronger signal here) and the jumps are much less with the same reference indicating high 8-5 E11 most of the time vs E10 before, same default time constant.

I found the following extract in David Irving's book Apocalypse about the bombing of Dresden. Interesting stuff. Rob Kimberley The highest precision in navigation was required; only Loran could provide this. The Royal Air Force's most up-to-date piece of electronic long-range navigation

I missed the last paragraph Rob K .There was however an added complication involved in navigating successfully to Dresden by Loran-because of the curvature of the earth the beams would probably not be picked up below nineteen thousand feet. The Master Bomber and his eight Marker

Right; when the thumbswitches are toggled, the RC integrators will slow down the edges into pins 9-11. Sometimes CMOS parts will latch up or otherwise fail to reliably with slow edges -- it probably comes down to the complementary thing, where both halves of a totem pole can turn on erratically

Has anyone tried to discipline the RFTG-m-RB without the -XO unit from a house PPS feed? I think pins 4 and 8 on J6 are the PPS input. Scott ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to
