[time-nuts] Austron 2201 Firmware past Y2K

2012-05-25 Thread Tom Knox

Hi;
I have finally found a 70MHz IF GPS ant only to find the Austron 2201 is not 
Y2K complaint. Has anyone found a solution for this problem?  I have looked at 
past threads and come up short, but thought I saw this problem addressed in the 
past.
Thanks;
Thomas Knox

[time-nuts] Trimble Resolution-T versus Resolution SMT

2012-05-25 Thread Mark Sims

I got in a couple of Resolution-T receivers from fluke.l and have had a chance 
to compare them with the Resolution SMT:

The -SMT receivers appear to be new.   Mine were the TEP variant (Motorola 
compatible) that has to be reconfigured to be TSIP compatible.   The -T 
receivers are used.  Mine came with locations in rural China stored in their 
survey position.  The -T serial port comes set for 9600,8,Odd,1  (Tbolts are 
9600,8,N,1)

The receivers are physically and electrically compatible.   They are mostly 
software compatible.  The -SMT only works at fixed locations.  The -T can work 
in mobile applications or as a general purpose GPS receiver.

The -T is a 12 channel receiver and the -SMT is 14 channel.   The -SMT is 6-8 
dB more sensitive.  The -SMT tracks and reports info on all sats that it sees 
(even if below the elevation and signal level masks).  The -T only tracks and 
reports info on the sats above the masks.

The -T has a +/-20 ns PPS,  the -SMT has a +/- 14 ns PPS.  Both support 
external sawtooth correction.

The -T responds to the dynamics filter (0x70) message.  You can enable the PV, 
Static,  Altitude, and Kalman filters  (Kalman overrides the others).

The -SMT serial port occasionally glitches messages.

The -T receiver shuts down for a couple of seconds when writing parameters into 
its EEPROM.

Re: [time-nuts] Vectron TRU-50

2012-05-25 Thread Don Latham
I chased the TRU-50 down with Vectron. It's not a stock part, horribly
expensive, special order, and has been obsoleted (ain't American English
grand?). They would let me buy 10 of some that were on the shelf for the
100 price of $59.00 each. A Schmartboard,  TI (formerly National) PLL,
and a common vcxo is probably a much better way to go for diddling
around.

Hi Paul;
First, I received the Austron Antenna and it works. 
So you are saying that I should setback 1024 weeks to July 16 1992 and the rec 
will recognize the almanac?. Now July 17th?
