I can't remember when I initially powered up my RFTG-u REF 1 how long it took to give me the green light but I *believe* it was a long time, maybe the better part of 24 hours. I think after testing and being fustrated I forgot to turn it off one night and the next day things looked normal. I have since either lost power or unplugged the unit and when powered up it always takes 14 minutes to aquire satellites, go through the start-up secquence, and give me the green light. If I recall when I first tried getting it to work I had a problem with being impatient and not waiting for the unit to complete the survey or whatever it was doing. I didn't have a computer connected so I was kind of flying blind.
To answer another question, the RFTG-u REF 1 does supply +5 volts to the antenna connector to power the active antennas. -Arthur _______________________________________________ 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.
