[time-nuts] Heathkit GC-1000 WWVDO

2012-03-01 Thread Brooke Clarke
Hi: Has anyone done stability plots on the Heathkit GC-1000? Although it's a clock good to 0.1 seconds, it's also a WWV disciplined oscillator (WWVDO). The linear power supply makes use of a 7805 and so heats up the enclosure which is hard on the electrolytic caps but also acts as a crystal

Does an NTP server using WWV as a reference clock count as a WWVDO? If so then there are likely a few of them around. I have a really nice RF front from an old WWV receiver that I want to get working. Well it does work but I'm using a general coverage reciever to convert the IF to audio, need to

In the late 70s I added WWVB to the micro that controlled my RTTY autostart station. A circuit in an application manual demodulated the WWVB signal and a software loop synced to the on-the-second transitions and decoded the time information. -- Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX N2469R c...@omen.com
