As I found, do be aware that the Synergy VIC-100 (58532A clone) does not
like 3V. Does anyone know if the 58532A fairs better? However, my
experience is that the Synergy Timing 3000 is better, even though it is
also rated for 5V only.
I happen to have just bought a Garmin GPSmap 60CSx myself. It is nice
that it spits out NMEA-0183, though the serial string is not timed well
to the internal 1PPS - delayed and jittery. :-(
Hi David
What happened here is that the mcx connector and lead worked ok. But
much out of boredom than anything else I also made an adapter with a
tail cable to a small box and put a 5v current limited reg in it. Pick
up the BTS 24v dc from the site and then used it that way. On the site
antennas that we use 3V seems to do the trick but the dc insertion of 5v
makes sure.
There are far better people on this list to advise on the jitter - not
me ..... but out of curiosity is the jitter on the usb connection or the
rs232 connection, I *thought* I read somewhere that the USB isn't the
best way to do it?
Regards Paul
