[time-nuts] Very early GPS used for timing trials

Hi, If anyone is interested in historic GPS receivers (or old junk?) Mike Murphy has a Rockwell Collins Navcore I up for sale, see:- http://www.murphyjunk.bizland.com/id8.html (search on the page for navcor if you don't see it). I can't buy it as Mike does not export anything these days. I think

I did not use the self survey mode, my antenna position was accurately surveyed and I used those coordinates. I just entered them on SETUP menu, scrolled to POSITION and entered the coordinates. Pressed the SET ACCURATE position radiokey, and then saved the segment. Brian KD4FM Richard W.

Just used my HP-428B yesterday to monitor the current in a 1200V line to a PMT with an internal divider. Is really nice that I don't have to worry about making high voltage electrical connections to check current. Always wondered if I had one of the few left that had a working probe on it. Gu

Well I do like my 428b. But several years ago I stumbled across a HP dc clamp on probe battery operated for a few $. Works well but I really like the large scale analog meter on the 428 so I tend to fall back on it. On Wed, Jan 13, 2010 at 1:28 PM, wrote: > Hi guys, > > Extech makes a couple of

Hi guys, Extech makes a couple of very nice DC current clamp-on probes. They have down to 1mA resolution, and one of them is very inexpensive (around $140 if I remember correctly), and works as a standard multimeter as well. Very rugged also. Having a DC current clamp with 1mA resolution

Like my 428 also. But I have a tube version hybrid. It is drifting a bit and one day I will get off my butt and address that. But its not bad enough to open the case actually. Using the ad588 as a current source is a good idea but semi expensive. I looked up the ad558 yesterday and digikey wants $3
