[neonixie-l] Jeff Thomas GPSII clock with updated GPS module featured on TubeclockDB.com
Hi All, I just posted an article here http://www.tubeclockdb.com/user-submitted/354-jeff-thomas-gpsii.html about an original 2003 Jeff Thomas GPSII clock, which is up for sale. This had the GPS module which stopped working in Feb 2016 because of a firmware limitation, but the owner (probably lurking here somewhere) made a new one to the same quality standards. The firmware has also been updated in 2010. It's a beautiful clock. Non-disclaimer: It's not my clock, but I wanted to feature it on the site because of the history associated with it. It will only ship to the US, so that does it for me, because I'm not in the US. :-/ On another note, if anyone else has an interest in the updated GPS module in the same idiom and quality as the original one, the owner might also be able to make a few more. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.

[neonixie-l] Jeff Thomas GPSII Clock
I've owned the gpsii clock for a number of years and built it from the kit. Lately, I've noticed that the GPS lock light never comes on. I thought that the GPS board and/or the antenna had failed after so many years. I got pretty worried as this is my most favorite Nixie clock. Some years ago, Jeff sent me a new antenna. I installed it to no avail. I was using a PVC pole mounted on the side of the house right outside the basement where the clock is located. I took the antenna down and laid it on the patio contemplating what to do next. After a while I glanced at the clock and it was receiving GPS signals and displaying correctly once again. It appears that the wired PTZ camera I had mounted on top of the pole must be interfering with the antenna. It's time for a new mounting arrangement. I have a couple of later small GPS modules that work well in my basement workshop and they don't require an external antenna. Has anyone retrofitted a newer receiver to this clock? I'm afraid the ability to do this is not in my wheel house. Is there anyone currently making completed or kit Nixie clocks with built-in GPS?
