Re: [time-nuts] Building a DMTD/phase noise set in the 21st century

Mine exhibit a series resistance of a few tens of milliohms and the added 
thermal noise was insignificant. The manufacturer claimed to use nanostructured 
carbon electrodes.
The leakage current was also small

I think several people have run into that issue, including myself. It seems 
designed for a slightly tapered rod. Easy to fix with the right tool.

Re: [time-nuts] Marine GPS antenna at SF Bay Area surplus shop

2019-08-29 Thread John C. Westmoreland, P.E.
Hello Gary,

I went by Excess Solutions today in San Jose and picked up two of these -
they are in a box on the "antenna aisle - (6)" toward the end of the aisle
on the RHS at the top.

There were actually around 10 or so in that box - so there's at least 8
left as of this afternoon.  They all appear to be new and unused.

Thanks for posting and letting us know about this.

73's,
John

That would add (geometrically) to the 300 pV/rtHz of one Interfet

I'm very happy with the one I bought and received from that seller. 
Haven't tried it with an F9 yet, but the M8T's, TruePositions, NTPi, and 
Blitzortung System Blue all work very well on it via my 8-way passive 
splitter modified for DC block on 7 of the 8 channels.  (the voltage 
feed for the antenna comes from one of the TruePosition units)


Only issue with mine was that the thread wasn't fully cut, so I modified 
an old taper tap to be a bottoming tap with the bench grinder and 
finished tapping the hole to the bottom.


Thanks much and 73,

[time-nuts] GPS Antennas

2019-08-29 Thread Mark Sims


They work very well.   I get the same results as with a $5000 L1/L2 survey 
antenna.   My antenna location is horrible, so there may be some difference 
with a better location... but I doubt it would be noticeable for most users.  I 
used F9P, F9T, NetRS and Z12 receivers.

[time-nuts] GPS Antennas

2019-08-29 Thread Dan Kemppainen

Hi All,

For the second summer in a row we were smacked with lightning. So I'm in 
need of a new GPS antenna. Might as well look for one with multi band 
units. I recall some talk about the cheap multi-band units on ebay that 
that are compatible with the f9P modules. Can anyone report back how 
they worked out?


The link from a while back is as follows:

Thanks!

At Excess Solutions. They have a few of these mystery brand active GPS antennas 
for $8. Looks like this link except no cable provided. They had about half a 
dozen. 
The lock mount is in the bottom of the bin in a plastic bag.

My GPSDO uses 12V , 
so I guess I will have to test this on a portable GPS.
