[time-nuts] recommendations for master reference

-mountable reference with multiple 10MHz outputs that is a GPS disciplined Rb and an NTP server, what would you look for on the used market? Oh, I suppose I would go for a Cs reference if I could find one at the right price. I'm not picky. :-) -- Brian Lloyd, WB6RQN/J79BPL 706 Flightline Drive

just hog-off the extra plastic until they fit. Of course, there is always the option of making your own using ribbon cable, or making a little extension with ribbon cable between a DB9-m and DB9-f. Never underestimate the power of brute-force and stupidity. -- Brian Lloyd, WB6RQN/J79BPL 706

, management was clueless by intention. (One might even say criminally clueless.) I suspect something like that may have been operational in this case as well. -- Brian Lloyd, WB6RQN/J79BPL 706 Flightline Drive Spring Branch, TX 78070 br...@lloyd.com +1.916.877.5067

. Magnetic variation is found on all VFR aviation navigation charts. 2 degrees is an interesting number. It seems either too accurate or not accurate enough for most applications I can think of. https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts -- Brian Lloyd, WB6RQN/J79BPL 706 Flightline

if required. True north or magnetic north? In any case, a good lensatic compass and knowing your magnetic variation should easily get you to within 2 degrees and is a lot easier than doing a survey with your GPS. -- Brian Lloyd, WB6RQN/J79BPL 706 Flightline Drive Spring Branch, TX 78070 br
