Hi Nigel, from what I heard from our customers (I have not had a unit to test myself, and do not have any comparative data), many if not most of these units have frequency jumps, and are not nearly as good as the Thunderbolt (which is quite good, and very well documented in the Time Nuts Archives). If you plan to buy these new, there is apparently also an issue with meeting delivery schedules, and having (hand-selected) sample/evaluation units perform much better than actual mass-production units. One reason why several of our customers abandoned the Mini-T for our FireFly GPSDO's. Again this is second-hand information though. Lastly, these unit's are all built using RoHs lead-free solder without the option to use the Telecom exemption for leaded solder, so in my opinion reliability is at best reduced compared to Telecom products still using leaded solder due to the nasty tin-whiskering problem with RoHs solder. The above opinions are mine and not necessarily those of my employer :) Bye, Said In a message dated 9/23/2009 08:05:30 Pacific Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
Hi All I've been looking through the list archives for anything on the Trimble Mini-T but have found very little, and what little I have found didn't come across as particularly encouraging. Is anyone currently using these, or has run tests on them, and able to offer any comments on performance and how they might compare, for example, to the Thunderbolt? 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. _______________________________________________ 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.
