Hi Paul, I haven't used the Starloc II, so can't offer any direct help/advice, but I did find manuals for the Starloc II and Starloc II plus when searching for Starloc-Lite data a few years ago. As always I hoarded what I found, which makes this your lucky day rather than mine as I never did find a Starloc-Lite manual:-) Aside from proving the Motorola GPS modules were ok stand alone I never got any response out of the Lites whatsoever, these are PCB based units presumably for OEM use, and put them aside for the later that never comes. I'm intrigued though that TBoltMon will talk to the Starloc II as I'm pretty sure this also uses a Motorola GPS module, perhaps a UTplus, so I wouldn't have expected it to be all that close to a Tbolt. However, from just looking at the manuals the Datum Timekeeper firmware interface seems to be based on the Trimble TSIP protocol, or vice versa:-), so this might explain it. Manuals attached, good luck, any problems with the files let me know and I'll try again. NB, manual sent direct but at 1.3MB zipped file is too big for the list, can upload to Didier's site if anyone else would like a copy. Regards Nigel GM8PZR

With the Datum/Efratom/Symmetricom/Microsemi transitions (I may have missed one or two...) I don't know if any info is even still available from Microsemi. Little is to be found elsewhere on the web. This unit was mentioned once or twice in the past on the list, but doesn't seem to have been too popular. Thing is, it appears to be a Thunderbolt clone (more or less) as TBoltMon will talk to it. Lady Heather on the other hand, will crash or hang and makes the Starloc hang too. It quits sending packets and refuses to respond to further input, requiring a power cycle. I havent traced which packet is killing it yet though (using 3.12 version). Does anyone have any docs, software, or other info? I would much appreciate it. Thanks!
