I don't know who Tom is ! > Bruce W1GBS Hi Bruce, I'm the Tom who arranged the TBolt group buy. Along with the quantity buy of Thunderbolts, after some experimentation and comparing prices, I chose power supplies from All Electronics (their model PS-23). They had a large quantity at one time but we cleaned them out of all stock for that cheap item in order to bundle a suitable power supply with each Thunderbolt receiver. So that's why All Electronics no longer has that item. If we had extras or a solid supplier, then TAPR could sell them individually. If All Electronics had more of these cheap surplus PS I would have bought them. I hope that clears up the mystery. We've shipped some TBolt's already (mostly pre-orders from last year); TAPR is gathering tested stock now and you'll hear soon in time-nuts when that door opens. For some other power supply options see example ideas here: http://www.leapsecond.com/pages/tbolt/noise.htm http://www.leapsecond.com/tbolt-faq.htm The +5 and +12 and -12 volt requirements are very standard so it should be little problem finding something new or used that will work. Note also there's nothing wrong with using two or even 3 separate supplies (with common ground). /tvb _______________________________________________ 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.
