Hello all, I'm a long-time lurker, (read on the web) but only a short time list-member. I purchased a Lucent timing shelf through eBay several months ago. I had long wanted a GPSDO. Indeed, I had missed out on the first wave of HP Z3801A units that were so cheap. I really did not have any need for one but I still wanted it ;<) In any case I did purchase this Lucent KS 24019 which puts 15 MHz out with aplomb, but I of course need 10 MHz. I suspect that I can remove the 15 MHz oscillator block and jumper the 10 MHz signal from the rubidium and the GPSDO through to the built-in distribution unit but I would like to see if anyone has any detailed information about these units? In specific I wondered if anyone on the list had modded these units and if so what were the results? Also does anyone know whether there is a way to get information out of them similar to the Trimble T-Bolt, I suspect not. The units that I have are the heat-sink front drawers that slide into the timing tray Rubidium is a KS24019 L102B the GPSDO is a KS 24019 L104C. I have trolled the back catalog of posts to the list on these but see no publicly available source of information. I have found some info on KO4BB's site but most of it seems to pertain to the newer smaller all heat-sink case units. There have in the past been some posts regarding these but I thought that I should introduce myself first and ask for help from the list at large before sending personal emails. I have purchased a T-Bolt in somewhat suspect condition (pieces) but I think that it is now working OK. I do not have any other source to compare it to other than the high stability internal oscillator in my frequency counters, (Racal 1992 and a fully loaded Fluke 1953A). I will check it's output on some of my Tek counters when I get them out of storage. My real interest in this unit is to leave it on all the time as a constant reference source for my service monitor and counters as well as a better calibration source for my test gear. I'm having fun playing with the T-Bolt though and I'm trying to get it gussied-up, ( <--you'd never guess I'm an Okie) with a display etc.
Thanks in advance and 73, Paul Cloud, KF5CKQ _______________________________________________ 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.
