Hi all, I have found myself with a GPS clock that is labeled as requiring a GPS down converter antenna. It won't sync to any of my normal antennas. Looks like it has an up-converter integrated into the receiver directly.
So far so good. I think I may have found an antenna with a built in down-converter, so we'll see how well that works. However, in addition, I just happen to have a Quartzlock GPS antenna down converter sitting in my office at work which I have never used personally. It was handed to me a while back by someone who knows I am interested in such things. Now I have no specs for this little grey box. It uses an N style connector for antenna in, and a TNC connector for signal out. It's labeled with Quartzlock as the manufacturer, and shows their UK web site. There's no model number designation I can see. A few web searches have so far failed to show any references to specification documents. So I am not sure what voltages it requires or supports. There's no external power connection which tends to lead me to suspect that it expects to get power from the RF cables. Has anyone used one of these? Any pointers to reference information would be appreciated.
