[time-nuts] Cell Modem CDMA Time String

2022-06-24 Thread Thomas D. Erb via time-nuts
With an older Cell Phone Protocol, we had used a multi-tech cell phone modem to parasitically (without using any minutes) get GPS synchronized time data from local cell phone towers. Any idea on how to do this with the next generation of cell phone protocols. _

in the 1930's you could call the local telephone operator - who would look at the wall clock at say the "electric time is" . meaning the time the generator synchronous wall clock read. Thomas D. Erb p:508-359-4396 f:508-359-4482 a:97 West Street, Med

You just need one of these analog master clocks. The pointer reads zero if pendulum time is equal to line frequency time. I assume mathematically it integrates the difference over time. https://electricclock.omeka.net/items/show/6 Thomas D. Erb www.electrictime.com
