I have seen a receiver that uses a 10MHz crystal in the front end and then mixes the signal to baseband then samples it with a PC "sound card". $10 in parts easy You extract the time in the PC software. I say "PC" but a really low-end computer like a Rasperry Pi would be perfect for this, maybe over kill but you'd want the features of the OS to send the time some place -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ 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.
