Hello to the groups. I have been following the thread on the trimble netrs GPS receivers. I ordered one and have a few questions. The good news is that it powers up. Building the 2 cables that Skip described do work. Also a de9/db9 for the front panel is a straight through and works exactly as the manual says. The various services like FTP work and its easy to change the IP to static. Several oddities though. I do not receive any gps satellites and have no L2 antennas (1227 MHz). >From documentation it appeared it would leverage the typical L1 signals at 1575 MHz. I believe thats wrong?
The antenna out is 7.2 VDC pretty high and its stiff. A 60 ma draw drops the voltage by only .2V. Is that what others see? Last really a interesting bit is that I am feeding the DA-26 with + 15V and feeding the backup with 12.6V like a typical battery. I would have believed I should see 2 green power LEDs. Instead the backup is sometimes off sometimes yellow. Not making a lot of sense. Skip did locate the correct backup supply connector. Its available from Mouser for $9.43 or so. Mouser part number 502-6382-2SG-3DC <https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/switchcraft/6382-2sg-3dc/?qs=%252bk%2fzvGh84xgrMJWt89AV0w%3d%3d&countrycode=US¤cycode=USD> Appreciate thoughts on the antenna or system behaviors please. Regards Paul.
