East coast here Yes I ran into the same thing so missed getting the spectracom 8170 sync'ed. Doesn't matter really, I now see whats up. The HP 117 and the fluke 207 all lost lock and phase all over as expected. Just jimmied in the homebrew psk fixer'upper (Another time-nut is helping also.) to see if the fluke 207 will lock. I can see I have an issue with the hysteresis, but knew that going in. The 207 does lock but the above issue is not helping at all.
Very curious I was copying a signal when wwvb was off, must have been MSF. It was pretty darn weak at -85db.
