[time-nuts] GPS Talking Clock

It’s been a while since I’ve posted here, but I’ve had a bunch of irons in the fire. I’m working on adapting my GPSDO to the ECS ECOC-2522, which the manufacturer claims has a short term ADEV in the low -12s, but I haven’t gotten it doing that well yet. But one thing that is ready (well,

As I was saying, indeed. There is a huge difference between affordable gear and cutting edge gear in price and performance. With GLONASS there are several extra biases to worry about. It would be nice if prices of these things could drop. Already having GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, BEIDOU on my

Hi I think you probably will have to move up to around $500 or so (and still shop pretty hard) to find a Zephyr Geodetic 2 in excellent condition. A Novatel 703 Pinwheel would also be on the list of things to watch for. If you find a proper (L1 / L2 / L5 ) GNSS receiver with a pps out in

Javad charges an extra us$1500 for "GLONASS .2mm Dynamic Calibration" of its triple-frequency timing receiver board: http://www.javad.com:80/jgnss/products/options/gclb.html https://www.javad.com/dynamic/Shop/Product/3268 (the TRE-3 appears to be the only triple-frequency part with the "Precise

It's still extremely rare to see a low-priced used triple-frequency antenna on ebay. For less than US$300 I've only spotted extremely beat-up Zephyr Geodetic Model 2s and a few Leica AX1203+ GNSS (only the "+GNSS" model is triple-frequency) (there is one up right now). I've seen at least one

You can get the connector for a lot less on Ebay. I just bought 50 of them for my M12 adapter board (which would work with the Furuno). Unless you do a PCB, wiring to the connector will be a rather painful, unreliable experience.

Hi all, As mentioned a few times over this year I've been kicking around the idea of doing a group buy for the Furuno GT-8736 GPS receiver boards: http://www.furuno.com/en/products/gnss-module/GT-8736 I have a quote from a vendor here in the States from last year that puts them at roughly $27 a

Hi, A complicating factor with GLONASS is the frequency separation of the satellites which causes several aspects of calibration issues. I know they have changed operational aspects which have reduced uncertainty significantly. This is also something that have been worked at with the GPS system
