Hello Dave, being 'time-nuts', it is of course to know the time of day to the nanosecond! That said, I truly believe there are only two wristwatches out there for the serious time-nutter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/846511652/the-worlds-first-true-atomic-wristwatch-the-cesium/updates

Hi, As I just registered for EFTF 2018, just wanted to check if any fellow time-nuts would join me there. I can also be expected to show up on the IFCS-EFTF 2019 conference, as I will serve on the JTPC for it. Cheers, Magnus ___ time-nuts mailing list

Speaking of forums etc, does anybody in Time-Nuts attend anyof the NIST Time and Frequency Seminars? I'm wondering if I'd get much from it. I've thought about doing so for years, but never got around to pushing for it while employed. Now it's looking awfully expensive. Dana On Fri, Mar 16,

There is a Laser Ranging station in Zimmerwald which is related to METAS. They measure distance of artificial satellites down to few millimeters by fly time of sub-nanosecond laser pulses, so they have very accurate time-interval measurement systems. There is also a nice Museum d'horlogerie

Hi I wonder if they will ever get around to dropping the “Galileo with firmware update” statements from *all* there spec sheets for the GT-87 and Opus-7 devices…… There has always been the basic issue of *how* an end user would be able to get such an update. Furuno does not seem to have a

[time-nuts] Furuno GT-87

2018-03-16 Thread Mark Sims
I re-confgured the GT-87 to just use GPS satellites (the posted data had GPS, SBAS, and GLONASS enabled). The 1PPS span was mostly +/- 2.5 ns, with a few excursions to the +/- 3.5 ns range. I'll try GLONASS only next. I looks like Furuno is not going to add Galileo support to the GT-87
