The X72 rubidium oscillator interface board sets have (finally) been shipped to everybody that paid for them. I had hoped to get them out a couple of weeks ago, but ran into a couple of annoying snags...
First, the assembly house built a couple of test articles that were great and were approved for production. Over a week later they came back and said "They're ready... except we can't do the through hole parts. Our through-hole machine is broken and we aren't going to fix it" (turns out they sold the company assets to another company and were letting them deal with it). I wound up hand soldering them... lotsa fun there. Next, it turned out the the MAX232A RS-232 chips I got in were wonky / fake / haunted. Luckily they are socketed. I bought out the local supply of good / genuine ones. Ahh, such fun. If anybody needs 50 sketchy MAX232A's... I can hook you up. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
