[time-nuts] M12 furono (also GT-8031)
The M12 boards arrived today, but there is a small problem with them. The holes for the receiver 2x5 .050 spaced pins are too small. The Furuno pins measure around .003" wider than the Motorola pins (that fit, rather tightly) so probably also some PCB drill hole/plating tolerance issues. Next spin of the boards will have the holes .006" wider. ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.

I got in my prototype Furuno GT-8031 adapter boards in and it is working well. Lady Heather now works with the GT-8031. The M12 prototpe adapter boards have shipped from OSHPARK a couple of days ago. They might get here today. I have since updated the adapter boards to add a CR2032 backup battery. Also the GT-8031 board now has H.FL and SMA connectors for connecting an antenna without having to chop up the antenna pigtail on the 8031. The 2mm and 50 mil headers have not yet arrived from China. ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
Re: [time-nuts] M12 furono
I have a unit out to Mark Sims for eval and testing with Lady Heather. Furuno isn't honoring last year's quote. For qty 100+ they quoted me $35.00 each. That was the quote for qty 1 last year. I pushed back and they dropped it slightly to $33.94 -not much of a discount and that's their 1000+ unit price. Assuming all is well on the Lady Heather front I will offer them at the $35.00 price+shipping, whatever that may be. When they were several dollars cheaper I didn't worry about moving them. At this price, I don't want to risk having 65 sitting on the shelf and 65*cost to pay back on the toy card.This way I can open a time period for orders and just order as many as are needed. If it's over 100, I will absolutely pass the slight savings on to the buyer. Hang tight! -Bob N3XKB On Fri, Mar 2, 2018 at 6:03 AM, ewkehren via time-nuts wrote: > What is latest on a group buy, have I missed something I am ready to buy > Bert Kehren > > > > Sent from my Galaxy Tab® A > ___ > time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com > To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/ > mailman/listinfo/time-nuts > and follow the instructions there. > ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
