Re: [time-nuts] Precise manual survey (was Common sky pps...)

Hello Peter, that's a good question. Some users of our Fury use rented/borrowed survey equipment (Leica, Javad, etc) to get a very precise position of their antenna, or they call in a surveyor. It is also possible to let the receiver do the auto survey multiple times, preferably during

Hi Jamie: The same company makes a number of LF time code receiving products. Their top of the line model combines a ferrite loop antenna, made to have very specific properties, with a three band receiver that resonates the antenna at either 40, 60 or 77.5 kHz by switching caps. The included
