I see fluke.i selling older GPSDOs consisting of a large board with the guts
(more or less) of a Thunderbolt, a smaller board with switches and
indicators,
and a ribbon cable to connect them.
With a FW of 1.88 and date code a few years older than a Thunderbolt,
I would guess this was a forebear to the Thunderbolt.

That would make sense - when I was using one of the original Palisade
units I remember that once it was tracking it only output the time
packet every 150 seconds - which seemed rather strange for something
that was being sold as a timing device. You could set it up to output
a time packet with each 1PPS pulse, but you had to send the commands
that did this via a different port than the one that the data came out
of. I'm sure this implementation decision must have made sense to
someone, but not to me...

Lady Heather depends upon the ability of the Thunderbolt to broadcast the time
message automatically every second. Apparently the Palisade type units do not
support this mode of operation. It might be possible to set up the software
so that it requests the time message continuously and only accepts the time
messages that indicate that the time has changed, but without a board to try
and maybe some documentation who knows?
The only strange thing I noticed was that
although it would work with the Trimble tbolt software Lady Heather
couldn't recognize it.
