Re: [time-nuts] PIC Divider Performance (was Re: time-nuts Digest, Vol 56, Issue 71)

Gents, after the discussion of the pic pps divider's properties let me add that on http://www.ulrich-bangert.de/html/downloads.html you can find a version of the pps divider that has been adopted to the Atmel AVR Mega world. Two versions are available, one uses port A and a second uses port D

[time-nuts] PPS Divider

2009-03-31 Thread John Ackermann N8UR
I'm a little nervous about this posting, as it is a couple of weeks earlier than I'd intended, but with the recent discussion about PPS dividers, I thought it was appropriate to mention a new TAPR product that will be shipping within the next month or so. I've finally finished the TADD-2,

A friend has a 5335A counter and bought a Prologix adaptor for it to collect data. He wrote the software and has had extremely good results. He offered to do the same for me utilizing my NI adaptor so I could use it for my various counters. Unfortunately he ran into problems and feels he needs a

[time-nuts] Austron 2100F

Hello ! I'm new to the list and I have been offered an Austron 2100F receiver at a good price. Before jumping in, I have a two questions: * I read that a new version of LORAN may come along soon. Will my old receiver be instantly obsolete as a frequency comparator ? * The receiver is

Manuals and schematics are available on Brooke's www.prc68.com website. They can be very hard to fix, because there is some really poorly designed logic circuitry, and the signature analysis functions really can't find very many problems. That said, I use a 2100T for my main timing receiver.

Hello Claude, Austron 2100F will only be good for the old LORAN-C, not any enhanced e-LORAN. Austron has been long out of business, so I would not expect any field upgrade options. I have not heard of others doing mods to the 2100F, to be fully e-LORAN capable. Brooke has the manual set on

Hi Claude: For manuals info see: http://www.prc68.com/I/A2100F.shtml#Man and ordering see: http://www.prc68.com/P/Prod.html#Austron The enhanced LORAN-C adds a pulse after the existing group with a variable time delay. All the existing receivers will continue to operate. Part of the new system
