Hello everyone,
Since there are many Fury GPSDO users here and many other users of the Motorola M12+ and M12M timing receivers, we wanted to introduce our new product which is an M12M compatible timing and navigation receiver that uses the latest uBlox M8T GNSS receiver, and is a one-to-one replacement for the aging, and hard to use Motorola/iLotus GPS receiver. This is kind of like a super M12M, with significant improvements in the 1PPS timing accuracy and stability, support for receiving two of any of the standard GNSS systems at any one time (GPS with SBAS, Glonass, QZSS, BeiDou, and soon Galileo), and true plug-and-play operation. It should work in pretty much most Motorola M12+ and M12M binary command applications. The unit is a form-fit-function compatible replacement for the M12M/M12+ receivers, and has been qualified on the JLT Fury GPSDO as well as the Microsemi/Symmetricom XLI, and provides a massive upgrade in GNSS performance such as -167dBm tracking capability (think indoors reception may now be possible under certain circumstances), 72 channels capability for very fast cold-start and re-acquisition, and multi-GNSS support. It has some additional features such as: * Two USB ports, one for easy SCPI control, one for full access to the uBlox commands for setup, as well as Carrier Phase, Almanac, and Ephemeris data. The unit can also be powered via the USB ports and used stand-alone sitting on a desk etc. There is no setup required though out-of-the-box, all setup is optional * 7-Segment LED status display and 5 additional status LEDs show GNSS status, fix status, signal strength, UTC time, and number of sats tracked * DIP switch for easy configuration of which GNSS systems should be enabled, Position Hold mode versus 3D Mobile mode, etc (these settings can be over-written by USB commands) * 1Hz to 10MHz+ buffered Synthesized (NCO) output that is frequency-locked to the GNSS system, and can be easily configured through the USB ports * Position Hold mode with Auto Survey, or full 3D mobile mode (selectable via USB, Motorola binary command, or via the DIP switch), supporting full Auto Kalman setup depending on vehicle dynamics (including auto-selection of Carrier Phase versus Doppler tracking etc) You can find out more in the User Manual and Spec Sheet available here: http://www.jackson-labs.com/assets/uploads/main/M12M_replacement_UserManual.pdf and http://www.jackson-labs.com/assets/uploads/main/M12M_replacement_Specsheet.pdf We are making this unit available to Time Nuts users for a special pricing of $185 per unit plus shipping. Pricing will revert to the list price of $220 at the end of this month. We are asking for anyone using the M12+ or M12M receivers in other than the Fury or XLI GPSDOs to help us test compatibility with those systems, and hope to have as many different products as possible tested out with your help. Please contact me OFFLINE(!) if you are interested in this unit.
