I don’t have one of these but I wouldn’t connect anything to anything without knowing the specs. I went to their site but could not find any specs on the outputs on the BNC connector. I should mail them at ord...@uputronics.com for the details. It could be a simple BNC to DB9 soldering job.

[time-nuts] GPS rollover repair???

Hi, Yesterday, pre-rollover, I reported that my Emap nav device had rolled over once: "I checked my Garmin Emap, 1999 vintage IIRC. That is telling me that it is 20/05/2014. " I left it out over the rollover this morning and surprise surprise the date has switched back to the correct date.

The OP doesn’t state where he got the « quote » from, but IMHO it is wrong. As I understand it. The GPS epoch started at 0h 1st June 1980 and the week number roles at 1024 week intervals at 0h GPS time. When a leap second is added its as if the clock stops for a second so GPS time will be in

Re: [time-nuts] Ublox F9P multi-band GPS receiver

2019-01-25 Thread Mike Cook
So the ultimate question is: Do you need a F9P in order to find the precise position of your F9T Antenna so that you can set up the F9T or is the F9T’s survey mode as accurate ( I doubt it as the doc gives position accuracy 2m ). Come to think of it, do you need three positioning receivers to
