So, I just recently started trying to resurrect a Spectracom 8160A reference
oscillator. I'm assuming this is proposed WWVB change going to bite me in the

One possibility for a workaround to keep the classical receivers happy
is to leave some residual carrier. Instead of a 180-degree phase
shift, make it 90 or 120, so that the signal can be regarded as the
sum of a
I lost track of who wrote this, but why is it assume a ferrite rod has
non-linear phase. [Group delay error I presume). Now I assume this
presumes the rod is used in a LC circuit, but if the Q is not high, the
phase linearity won't necessarily be bad.
Basically I'd like to hear more from whome

Hello all,
I have a couple of these supplies that I plan to use with the TBolt. From
what I can gather
from searches on the internet the RO pin between the two grounds on the
power connector is a remote turn on
which is enabled by grounding this pin.
Would someone please confirm that for me?

concerns of people that use WWVB

Hi
With a reasonable sized data set, I suspect we would learn some things about
the phase shift process. The better we can model the process, the better we
can anticipate it and correct for it in the code.

Attached are some more renderings of John Seamons' WWVB data. This is
what one might expect from a receiver that knows when the phase
reversals happen and takes them out noiselessly---re-reversing the
out-of-phase bursts to recover an approximation of the usual WWVB
signal.
