Have two of the late 90's Lucent L106B boxes. They are isolated except for power and GPS antenna connections. I've read the manual and the archived timenuts material that I can find with Google. My test equipment is limited to a counter and an oscilloscope. Have computers but no S/W. DVMs, of course.
Both power up. After about 15 minutes, the red FAULT light goes out and the green ON light is lit. 15 MHz appears at that outlet, six zeroes to the right of the decimal point. The Efratom XO is similar. The NO GPS light never goes out, except to blink when the antenna is disconnected. Let it run 16 hours, no joy. The manual (for earlier devices) says it will initiate a field survey on its own, if it needs to. The antenna is a Garmin low profile 3" unit, part number 00-89002-000. Google and the Garmin site can't find it. It seems to draw enough current, since the device knows when it has been disconnected. I no longer have any way to test the antenna, so I need to look at the fault code from the receiver. The receiver, presumed to be some kind of Oncore (the numbers on it don't help) is in a metal box on a daughter board with a Motorola 68331 micro. Is there a way to tell what's going on without hacking it from the basic bits? Would really like to solve this problem. Failing that, does anyone want them? Have the matching L105A RB boxes, which fire up and produce 15 MHz. Also female BNC to male SMA adapters. Many pictures available. Thanks for any help.
