Just a heads up, in case you’re not concious of the fact; at least my HP splitter (can’t recall model# off hand) is strictly L1 - many others are wide band and will allow L2 and whatever else you might later want. Ole > 18. mai 2018 kl. 16:35 skrev Clay Autery : > >

Re: [time-nuts] Rinex Data Stream

2017-11-26 Thread Ole Petter Rønningen
Depending on the receiver, the manufacturer usually provides a conversion utility. No such thing as a RINEX «stream» though, as far as I know. The observations are usually collected in a vendor specific (or sometimes neutral, like BINEX) format, and then converted to RINEX in batch. Ole >

Hi, Dana. > What does 'EFOS' mean? I hadn't heard the term before. EFOS was a series of masers made by Oscilloquartz in Switzerland, there is a little information on my website www.efos3.com under «about». The manuals for those masers are also available, lots of good info for the interested:

Re: [time-nuts] Thermal effects on cables --> ADEV

2017-01-13 Thread Ole Petter Rønningen
That IS interesting.. It reads to me that the advice is to keep a "moving 300 pt ADEV" when continously monitoring a (pair of) frequency source in e.g a VLBI site - the reason for limiting it to 300 pts being that much more than that is likely to average out potential issues.. Does that make

... having said that, I for one think I'm with Bob on this one. The thing about masers are that they are big. At least active masers. And they require a substantial volume be kept at ultra high vacuum - which is not trivial, especially not in a homeshop. The cavity needs to be kept at a
