Hi All, I'm thinking about adding a Z3805 to my existing Z3816 (once I get the 3816 up and running once the sparky has finished putting electricity in the garage!)
However, I have a few questions that I need to answer before I actually make that decision, and as I'm sure those of you who have a Z3805 know, finding the manual is...a challenge... Anyway, does anyone know: a) The Power requirements. The 3801 and 3816 differ in Voltage requirements as I understand it, anyone able to tell me what the 3805 needs/wants/likes to be fed ? b) Pictures I've seen appear to show BNC rather than SMA connectors, can someone with 3805 confirm ? (Not that it's such a massive issue, but extra cables or converters required...) c) 16 channel GPS RX is great. But anyone know if it wants to feed 3.3V or 5V up to the antenna ? d) Anyone know if it works with the Type 26 NTP reference clock driver ? Anyone actually have it running this way ? Finally, a generic question about all 3 of these HP/Agilent/Symmetricon devices: I know the PPS spec -isn't- at RS-232 levels, however nor is the Garmin GPS-18, and that worked raw for me. Has anyone tried just feeding the PPS signal from a 3801/05/16 into the DCD pin of a serial port ?
