Hi Nigel,
Thanks for the offer, well I am not in a hurry, just take your time.....I have many other project to go on. About 10-15years ago I tried to copy MFS but due to the close proximity of DCF I was unable to copy.... maybe I did not pay attention to the selective active antenna and so on..... do you think that I will be able? to receive MFS in Frankfurt?????

If that sounds vague it's because it was sent to me a few years ago and soon ended up in storage. I didn't reply earlier as I couldn't find it at home, which means it's probably still buried in storage and I have no idea when I'm likely to find it. If nobody else has a copy, and you don't mind waiting, I'm happy to share what I've got. It might be soon, but it could be quite a wait. I have a couple of RCC8000s, also buried somewhere so it's a while since I've seen them too, but I suspect any difference, aside from a fairly minor retune of the receiver, is going to be in the firmware. Both mine are for MSF and I have no idea whether or not there will be any firmware information in the documentation I have. I know it'll be a pain if you're so close to DCF77, but I don't think it should be very difficult to knock up a reasonable antenna for MSF, which might make life a lot easier. regards Nigel GM8PZR _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. ________________________________________________________________________ More new features than ever.
