Re: [time-nuts] L1/L2 survey antenna $125 new

I'd doubt it's a choke-plate design - too small, and it looks like other Cheap dual-element designs I've seen come out of China. I don't agree with sparkfun's recommendation of using the cheapest Chinese adapters you can buy to get a decent SWR/insertion-loss. What's notably missing in the

Some people would probably say that the alcoholized iced tea is more effective. Long Island Iced Tea IIRC. I get along pretty well with ordinary Coca Cola, alternating between diet and regular. It doesn't have much odor, but it sure tastes a lot better than coffee! BTW, I have a fair number of

Wow! I sure got that wrong! The picture definitely shows a female TNC with the normal pin configuration. Guess I need to drink stronger iced tea. Tom Holmes, N8ZM -Original Message- From: time-nuts On Behalf Of Tom Holmes Sent: Friday, November 13, 2020 4:47 PM To: 'Discussion of

It looks like the L1/L2 antenna that was widely discussed a couple of years ago. I bought one and it is TNC like in the picture. Bought cable with TNC                                                                                                                    Bert Kehren.  In a message

Re: [time-nuts] L1/L2 survey antenna $125 new

Dana, it is a male TNC RP, which means reverse polarity. The center pins are reversed from the normal condition. Very commonly done on WiFi gear in the US due to some FCC paranoia about people hooking up amplifiers, which the aftermarket world immediately addressed. Ain't capitalism grand?! Tom

Re: [time-nuts] L1/L2 survey antenna $125 new

The description says it’s a TNC female RP connector, and claims it’s the industry standard. Odd, but I haven’t encountered that “standard” connector. Maybe it’s only standard on L1/L2 antennas? Steve WB0DBS > On Nov 13, 2020, at 3:37 PM, Dana Whitlow wrote: > > Thanks, Bob. I zoomed in

Re: [time-nuts] L1/L2 survey antenna $125 new

Thanks, Bob. I zoomed in on the image that shows the connector without the cover, and it sure looks like a female connector to me (contradicting what the SparkFun description says). I could not determine which handedness applies to the threads, however- not quite enough resolution in the photo.

Re: [time-nuts] eLORAN will be on the air 8970

Little bits of reports. But its somewhat quite. Granted I also know several time-nuts purchase timing receivers from the last test run. So maybe interest is picking up a bit. The big question is if eLORAN will be a supported PNT reference or not. That questions been on the table for about 12 years

Re: [time-nuts] WWVB teensy BPSK early experiments

Hello Time Nuts, Paul, the wiring harness I made is longer than 6" - not by much - but I'll shorten those and see if it clears it up. I thought the same thing - maybe the display could be flaky - or maybe strange things can happen too if in the software the touch screen part is enabled but the
