Fellow clockers,
I just got done reinstalling my TrueTime NTS-200 network time server in
a different rack. This required, among other things, installation of a new
antenna on the opposite side of the house from where my original one is.
The new antenna was a Symmetricom/HP 58532A, which requires 5V bias.
Unfortunately, the NTS-200 was designed to supply 12V, and there is no easy
jumper or software setting to change that.
So -- After a bit of work, I came up with a minimally-destructive
hardware modification to change the +12 feed to +5.
If anyone else owns an NTS-200, and you've been wanting to use it with
a 5V antenna, drop me a note and I'll be happy to send you pictures and details.
Fair warning: It requires fine-point soldering, a bit of wire-wrap
wire, and a lot of patience.
Keep the peace(es).
