[time-nuts] Thunderbolt Power

Hi, I recently purchased a surplus Trimble Thunderbolt and would like to get it going. The 24 volt units have a fairly wide range of acceptable voltages. The only power supply specs I can find for mine specify +5, -12 and +12. No min-max is specified. I have a power supply that has +5, +15

Bill, I have an HP3335 and often use it. I hope mine will keep running! I'm sure there are others who could make good use of one of them. Steve, N8MYA At 01:06 AM 5/23/2013, you wrote: Send time-nuts mailing list submissions to time-nuts@febo.com To subscribe or unsubscribe via the

[time-nuts] Connectors

Hi, Not too long ago there was an interesting discussion here about RF connectors. I have always wondered about the F connector - used by the boxload in TV distribution. Are they any good for anything else? Just curious. Thanks. Steve - N8MYA ___

[time-nuts] Fluke 8502A

Hi, I apologize if this is not a legitimate request for this group. But does anyone have experience repairing one of these? I have two and neither works. The first one lights up, but with random digits on the display. I picked up the second hoping to get some spare parts, but almost all of

Re: [time-nuts] repairing Maser threads

Doesn't sound fishy at all to me. But I have much experience stripping threads. It is easy, just make it snug,then a bit tighter. Or, the threads could have been damaged by the original installer. That happens too (just not as often). If the fit was a bit on the loose side initially, it could

Re: [time-nuts] GPS from a window seat

Bill, GPS definitely works through a commercial aircraft window. You have to hold the unit, or at least the antenna, close to the window. Some airlines, however, prohibit GPS use during flight. Check with your airline. Steve Gunsel At 09:21 AM 10/1/2009, you wrote: Group, I'll be flying

Re: [time-nuts] LPRO Heat Sink?

I'm new to this, but it sounded more like this is to be a thermal mass to minimize temperature swings. Why would you want to efficiently cool something that you are trying to heat and maintain at a constant temperature? just curious in Medina, OH At 11:12 AM 9/23/2009, you wrote: At 10:51

Re: [time-nuts] LPRO Heat Sink?

It seems to me that the heat sink is like having a hole in the bottom of the bucket, just takes longer to fill. Added thermal mass would keep the temperature more even. A radiator just dissipates heat, the hotter thew object the more heat it will dissipate. The radiator doesn't know if it is

Re: [time-nuts] LPRO Heat Sink?

heatsink for them. The 70C maximum rating for the baseplate is likely based on typical heat losses from the other parts of the device. If the baseplate (which is easy to measure) is kept below 70C, the rest of the device (which is inaccessible) should be okay. Ed steve gunsel wrote: I'm

Re: [time-nuts] Measurements

At least an acre is acre throughout the US (I think). The real problem was in olden France where virtually all measurements varied from village to village. So a bushel of wheat in one locality differed from a bushel elsewhere. Same with all of the other units. Made for nasty trade issues once
