Jason Welcome to the list. I had the pleasure of observing my first 10 GHz QSO a few weeks ago, and was surprised at how difficult it was to find the other guy ... he was 20 kHz lower than we expected. Accurate LO's on both sides would have been a big help. GL de KM1P Joe On 9/15/2014

Hello, I got a Trimble Thunderbolt a few months ago and implemented a simple monitor on a MCU to display time, no of satellites etc. on a lcd display. While working on this, I found the hint for the upcoming rollover in 2017 in the user manual. I couldn?t find any details on this in the

Hi guys, I told you ! Some questions were to arise... ;-) At work I'm working on 1.5, 3 and 12 GHz pulsed systems with pulses length between 0.1 and 5 us. We are especially interested in phase stability pulse to pulse (repetition rate) and possibly with minor priority on the length of

Hi Matthias, Thanks much for sharing this information. You are fortunate to have access to a GNSS simulator. May I assume from your comments that the TBolt itself was fine -- it continued to track SV and the 1PPS and 10 MHz outputs were not affected? This is the expected behavior of GPS

2014-09-16 Thread Mark Sims
Version 4 of Lady Heather(not yet released) has rollover compensation built in. If the detected date is less than the current system date it adds 1024 weeks to the Tbolt date/time by default. You can also specify an alternate rollover offset or disable rollover compensation.

All, I'm doing a simple PCB design for a breakout for the venerable FE-5680a, and I'm curious if there's any need/desire to separate out the GND/DGND (pins 2 and 5). In my test connection, I just used pin 2 for grounding the 15V supply, and pin 5 for everything else, but I figured they're

Hi Tom, I didn´t save the output, but the generator is located on my workbench, so it´s no problem to repeat this experiment at any time. But I´m afraid it´s a bit more complicated. I need to specify a almanac file on the simulator. Stored was a file from 2012 which was shown to be valid
