Tom, Synergy already has a carrier board to put the SSR-6T receiver into a VP, UT, UT+, etc. socket. All that is needed is firmware support for the old 8-channel messages. I am planning to implement this capability for Synergy. It's just a matter of time and priorities. Eventually Synergy will have the solution for this problem. If you could gather a list of Time-Nuts people who would like one or more of these and send it to Art that could speed the process along.

It was, and still is, a famous GPS timing receiver. Later, many GPSDO evolved to use the Motorola/iLotus M12 receiver. The new Synergy SST-6T is a clever combination h/w and s/w that turns a uBlox 6T & PIC into a PCB that is both h/w and s/w compatible with an M12. It's a drop-in replacement. But as such, it won't work in a device that is uses an old Motorola UT/GT/VP receiver. I suggested that they also come up with a board that is VP compatible, but you realize the number of 15-year-old Oncore VP's in the field is probably not that high. It would make an excellent labor-of-love project to create a VP-compatible uBlox 6T board, but it's probably not something you can make a business case for. /tvb _______________________________________________ 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.
