Fellow time-nuts, This evening I was presented with a dilemma, either to check if my repaired Cs beam would lockup or go out dancing (and chasing chicks). Being told about the dancing a bit late, being inproperly dressed, unshaved and all, I felt the time nut in me was having a strong case, so it became a Cesium lockup wake instead! ;O)
And yes, to the best of my abilities to judge things, after the replacement of a tired component, my Cesium beam now locks up and behaves quite sanely. It is still tracking in closer and closer but it seems to track along. Before I had an oscillating behaviour since it lost lock due to noisy measures which could be traced to a particular component. I was unable to find a replacement but a fellow time-nut helped me out and this evening I got the additional help to solder the replacement in. I want to monitor the progress over the next few days (with continous logging) but it looks very promessing. Now I have a nice little challenge in finding out how I best is going to have it hooked up and kept running in my rig. So, I just wanted to share this happy feeling with some people that might apprechiate it. Now I may start calibrating my Rubidium (finally after all these years). I have to arrange for a propper GPS antenna solution too. But now I have a good feeling to start the exercises from. ;O) Cheers, Magnus _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list [email protected] https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
