Last evening my Thunderbolt was losing satellites until none were reported usable. At the same time the K5FX Thunderbolt was down to one or no usable birds.
This afternoon I dug out my other thunderbolt, the first one I got. That one had a defective OCXO which I replaced with a 49422. That couldn't get any usable birds either. Now things are back to normal. K5FX is happy and so are both of my Thunderbolts. So -- What happened? Anyone else notice something out of the ordinary? Someone practicing GPS jamming? BTW Is there a spot on the Thunderbolt where I can sample the RF or IF to feed a spectrum analyzer? The signal coming down the coax is too weak to see on my analyzers. -- Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX N2469R [email protected] www.omen.com Developer of Industrial ZMODEM(Tm) for Embedded Applications Omen Technology Inc "The High Reliability Software" 10255 NW Old Cornelius Pass Portland OR 97231 503-614-0430 _______________________________________________ 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.
