"Ooh err, whoops, and oh dear !! Arthur, I've only just had a chance to look at your latest photos, and unless I've really got my wires crossed, if you'll pardon the expression:-), your links on J5 are not shown on pins 2, 10, 12, and 15, but on pins 4, 6, 11, and 13." +++++++++++++++++++++ Darn-I'm glad someone was paying more attention than I was when I wrote that years ago. Apparently when I was documenting what modifications I had made I just picked up a 15 pin D plug shell to get the numbers instead of looking at the obvious numbers on the RFTG socket connector and those connectors being mirror images have the numbers reversed. I was out geocaching yesterday and didn't catch up on the new posts until this morning so I'm a little late in responding. I also checked to see if I had any other scribbles on the changes I made and found this: "If pin 2 is held low the 'ON' LED will flash. A pulse low will turn it on. The RC timer holds pin 2 low to flash for about 6 seconds so you can see it actually happens then pin 2 returns high and the 'ON' LED stays on solid." So apparently some of the parts I added were to just make the light look like they were working correctly (can you spell OCD?) and may not be necessary. As I originally said, this was a hack and I wanted others to duplicate what I had done to see if any of it made sense to them. At least it appears that by adding the circuit I came up with and/or adding jumpers you can get the RFTG-u REF 1 unit to work without the slave unit. I just ordered another RFTG-u REF 1 and will see if I can modify that and get it to output 10Mhz instead of 5Mhz like my original unit. Sorry about the screw up on the numbers. -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.
