Re: [time-nuts] Antennas, roofs

Hal, If your new roof will have a ridge vent you can poke the antenna cables through it to the outside leaving enough slack to create a drip loop before continuing to the antenna(s). Since the ridge vent follows the slope of the roof the cable will exit on the down side so water will run off.

[time-nuts] Setting Trimble Thunderbolt Stored Position

Greetings, I am new to using a GPSDO and have recently obtained a Trimble Thunderbolt. It is up and running and I am using TBOLTMON to monitor its operation. Everything is green except the stored position minor alarm. While searching for information on how to set this information I came across

Re: [time-nuts] Trimble Thunderbolt Rs-232 Levels

Darrell, I just bought that exact unit a couple weeks ago, probably from the same seller. It works directly with an RS-232 port. I'm using mine with a RS-232/USB adapter to my laptop. The power supply board only supplies the +/- 12VDC and + 5VDC. Here are the Mouser part numbers for the power

Re: [time-nuts] Tboltmon Serial Port Selection...??

Mike, I don't believe the software has any option for saving a serial port selection. At least I have never found one. It defaults to COM1. I use a USB/RS-232 converter and COM 2 because COM 1 on my laptop is in use by another application. I have to select COM2 every time I start the program.

Re: [time-nuts] Power supply for Thunderbolt

David, I use a Mean Well. Model: T-30B with my Thunderbolt. See http://www.meanwell.com/search/T-30 for details. It is about the same dimensions (slightly higher) as the GPSDO. I got mine from Aibin, VA3GUO, and it was only slightly more expensive than the unit you referenced on Ebay.

Jerry, I agree, if you have a "real" RS-232 port available use it to check if the TBOLT and LH communicate. If that works, then USB adapter is suspect. Prolific has been problematic. When I had problems with my Prolific adapters failing, usually after an "update" - particularly Windows - I
