[Correcting my earlier comment.] > You could probably add a diode to make it work. It takes more than just a diode. The voltage on the modem control signals is probably too high. You will also need some way to drop it to what the chip expects, probably 5 volts. Simple 3 pin regulators need

And once you get it working... Lady Heather speaks to Acron Zeits! You should configure the clock to UTC mode or lie to Heather about the time zone offset... Heather wants the input device to send UTC or GPS time. The satellite map shows a single "satellite" near the horizon at the azimuth

I'm wondering if something like this $10 item http://www.nulsom.com/datasheet/NS-RS232_en.pdf Would perform the same function as the components in the factory cable once I've figured the pinout at the clock end, which shouldn't be too hard unless someone has done that already. Or would I need

I thought I could answer this question easily, since I had the cable right at hand. But my continuity detector gave strange results. I opened up the D-shell and found a small circuit board with diode, capacitors and what looks like an ST358 op amp. Paul Alfille On Fri, Jul 21, 2017 at 4:27 PM,

Does anyone have the serial pinout info for the Zeit clock? I have the clock but have mislaid the factory cable so will need to make up a replacement RJ11 to 9 pin D-sub cable. It would save me time if someone has already identified the TX, RX and Ground connections on the RJ11 socket. Thanks.
