So does Lady Heather... the "S" menu control things like self-surveys, entering 
fixed position coordinates,  and the receiver operating mode.  SN will put it 
in Navigation (3D) mode.  SH will put it in position Hold mode (timing mode).

GE Transistor Manual, 6th ed, 1962, $2, 440 pages
Nothing resembling a data sheet.  There are several tables with parameters.
The Use column for the 2N170 says IF => Intermediate Frequency Amplifier.




the CK722 was a Raytheon part, I believe.

The 2N170 was apparently hot stuff.  Slightly before my time (2N404 and 
2N1613 were my childhood devices, and amazingly, they're still being 
made, although I suspect not on the same fab lines)


Yep, IF, as in 455 kHz (or back then, 455 kc).  No FM strip at 10.7 MHz 
or TV at 4.5 MHz in 1962.


http://n4trb.com/AmateurRadio/SemiconductorHistory/GE_2N170_NPN_Junction_Transistor.pdf

gives performance *at 455 kHz*.. 24dB gain.  People probably thought 
they had died and gone to heaven.

The "idea popping up every 10 years" is not restricted to crystal

Neutron stars, the glowing cinders left behind when massive stars explode as 
supernovas, are the densest objects in the universe and contain exotic states 
of matter that are impossible to replicate in any lab. They shine most brightly 
in narrow beams that sweep the sky as the stars spin; from a great distance, 
they appear to pulse like lighthouse beacons (hence the name “pulsars”). From 
its perch aboard the International Space Station (ISS), the Neutron star 
Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) payload studies the extraordinary physics 
of these stars, providing new insights into their nature and behavior. 
Through the embedded Station Explorer for X-ray Timing And Navigation 
Technology (SEXTANT) demonstration, it may pave the way for a future GPS-like 
system for spacecraft navigation anywhere in the Solar System using pulsars 
(known timing sequence) as natural beacons.

Jerry -

I rarely use "raw" Oncore M12 commands these days, using one of the 3 common PC 
programs: Lady Heather, TAC32/SynTAC, M12Oncore(old Moto pgm).

How are you routing that 1 PPS signal?  Does your front LED pulse?
I wire 1 PPS to the DCD pin (DE-9M, standard RS-232), TAC32 can be configured 
for "which pin" (DE-9M) to sense that PPS signal.  
This is why I prefer to use Mark Sims' Lady Heather or Rick Hambly's TAC32.  
TAC32 program has a quick setting for config. receiver as Timing or Navigation.

IF you continue to have issues, perform the Hardware Reset (Lady Heather).
That will return your receiver to default factory with cleared settings.

Greg, Funny.  
Some of the Lucent boxes have been in strange places as well.  
Can you please check your PPS to see if you get a signal when in that other 
mode (where it needs at least one sat locked)?

I am familiar with this effect.  My specialty is switching amplifiers
and I wrote the classic paper for Motorola on the subject, see
http://gonascent.com/papers/an1042.pdf .  Ripple in the dc from a
switching amplifier is less than a part per thousand.  These thermal
coolers have about a 10% efficiency which means it takes 10 Watts to
pump a Watt.  That is a tiny switching amplifier.  Ovens also require
several Watts if operated at -55° C.  Thermo coolers/heaters require
little power when operated close to room temperature.  Highest power
is required at high ambient temperatures.

Thermomechanical fatigue can significantly reduce the lifetime of

We finally got in the Panasonic thermal fuses for the HP10811 and have
a few extra.  They will either plug in or solder.  Contact me if you
need one.

Runs for an hour.

Lots of history.  He includes some details interesting to time-nuts and
