Hi, I recently had some minor trouble w/ my Trimble Thunderbolt, (turned out to be a loose DB-9).
The event motivated me to look for a spare, in the case where something actually fatal happens to the TB in the future. The availability of a 10mhz signal for the HP and Agilent test equipment is great. Also, our home NTP server PPS input is very nice (when I don't knock the connector off). Does it seem like the Trimble Thunderbolt units are becoming scarce, and commanding prices accordingly? Should I just pay the ransom and be as happy as I can about it? Or is there any other HW that I should start looking for w/ similar inputs and outputs for the antenna, serial PPS, BNC 10Mhz? I don't need .9999999 precision, just a better 10Mhz signal than the HP & Agilent OCXO's produce, and a stable PPS to feed the NTP server with. Thanks, Frank KJ4OLL _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
