> Why is it 0UTC Jan 6, 1980 Short answer: GPS time is based on week numbers. The week number increments at midnight between Saturday and Sunday. Thus for the timescale to start at 0 seconds, in the year 1980, you have to pick January 6th (Sunday) not January 1st (Tuesday) as the starting

Quick question. I am looking at the netrs and do not believe it can act as a NTP server. I do see the ntp client settings. Am I missing something? Thanks Paul WB8TSL On Tue, Mar 22, 2022 at 3:09 PM paul swed wrote: > Did get the "convert to rinex" working. I actually seemed to have a bad > exe.

Eric, Do the observed DAC steps correspond in polarity to the observed frequency changes, or just the reverse? That's a key determination to make in placing blame, for it tells you whether the DAC steps are causative to the frequency changes, or rather the PLL's reaction to problems in, say, the

A few weeks ago I was working on a prototype containing a MAX5443 single supply 3V 16-bit DAC in a circuit very similar to the one in its datasheet, using another MAX voltage ref. and a buffer and as far as I remember the output was pretty stable. Mete On Tue, 22 Mar 2022 at 20:10, Bob kb8tq

Hi Bob, By your advice I went for a 6.5 digit DVM and after logging and plotting the DAC output its clear there are some stability issues in the DAC output. The voltage is wandering around at about the level of frequency wandering observed. A different supply topology for the DAC and VCXO will
