Thanks Ian Sounds like my original comments were somewhat over pessimistic then! I was under the impression that the crossover between oscillators was around 2002 but obviously it must have been quite a bit earlier. regards Nigel GM8PZR In a message dated 24/03/2012 13:38:10 GMT Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
Hi Nigel, I knew I'd leave out something! The date code is 0025 cheers, ian ________________________________________ Hi Ian That sounds encouraging, what's the date code on yours? I seem to recall previous discussions here regarding the possibility of firmware upgrades and am pretty sure the answer was "No". My current Tbolts have firmware 3.xx but I have had some in the past with version 2.xx and don't recall any obvious differences. regards Nigel GM8PZR In a message dated 24/03/2012 12:40:41 GMT Standard Time, cadbloke at hotmail.com writes: Hi All, I purchased one of these "red box" t'bolt from this Israeli seller and it arrived a couple of days ago. I can confirm it has the Trimble labeled OXCO and firmware FW2.12. Also interesting is that it seems to run happily with the supply backed off to 17V. I've taken some pics with the boards spread out and uploaded them to Didiers site. The file is called RedBoxThunderbolt.pdf and should be available shortly. As with many things found on fleabay, a gamble is involved. In this case it seems to have paid off. Is it possible (and is there any benefit) in updating the firmware? cheers, ian _______________________________________________ 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.
