I used to own/use a 468-DC. They are, unfortunately, useless now
because NOAA stopped transmitting the UHF-based time code over the GOES
satellites in the early 2000's (this is, very likely, why it was so cheap).
In short ... Even if you got a perfect antenna for the unit,
there's nothing for it to receive. I believe you'd be wasting your time
and money (unless you want to get -really- adventurous and try adapting
its innards to sync off GPS).
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...

I'm new to the group. I'm looking for an antenna for a Kinemetrics
468-DC. I only paid a few bucks for the unit and all the surplus
companies want 800-900USD for an antenna.
Does anyone have a source for a reasonably priced antenna, or, has
anyone built one that they would care to share the details on.
I appreciate anything I can learn,
Chris
