As an alternative, you might consider the Drake commercial satellite receivers. I've bought a few of these off of Ebay for about $20 each. These show up at recyclers. Every one I got worked. They have just been sitting in rack until I suppose the service wasn't needed. These commercial receivers have analog meters that you could tap. I've bough the ESR 1255. I have manuals for the 1245, 1252, 1255, 1260, and 1450 if you can't find them online. But probably the 1252 or 1255 is what would work best in this application. _______________________________________________ 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.
