Re: [time-nuts] Symmetricom analog network clocks.
djl kirjoitti 25.3.2020 klo 2:46: turn in both directions(use your thumb.) After all, it was no good as is. I guess the grease was redistributed, as both clocks now function properly. They do have to be set using the software sort of often, but sure look classy :-). No wonder we got them so cheap! Root cause in my unit was that rotor was hitting stator and caused random "jams". The rotor was mounted off-center and got contact with stator. I was able to bend the motor frame so that rotor was properly centered. No problems aftert that, now it has been running many years after that fix without any issues. At the same opening I also converted it to PoE powered, so only one cable now. It's 15V system but runs perfectly with 12V also. Very nice wallclock indeed! -- 73s!

Get an ozone generator and put the contaminated gear to some closed comparment with it. Turn on the generator and let it be for 15 minutes. No more any viruses, bacteria or mold there... so it's easy! -- 73s!

Re: [time-nuts] Garmin GPS12XL V3.51
course, came up with an August 1999 date. A quick "Google" found that someone is hosting a zipped Windows executable (apparently originally from Garmin) that you run when the satnav is connected to your PC via a serial cable, and it corrects whatever internally so that the date is reported correctly. Works like an absolute charm! The program doesn't say it is Amazing! Now my GPS12 shows correct date again! Time is still not exactly synced, but inside same second. Maybe it's display issue; too slow rerfresh rate for accurate seconds. My GPS12 was unused many years and had lost all settings. Last time I used it in geocaching because it seems to perform better than smartphone GPS in some difficult places like in forest. -- 73s!

Re: [time-nuts] Symmetricom TS2100 Faults and Forgetfulness
Chris Quayle kirjoitti 6.12.2018 klo 2:13: Eeprom dump included. If another member has one of these, do these values look sane ?. No idea of function though... I think IP address or display settings cannot be stored to that EEPROM, it contains oscillator steering parameters etc. That is because this EEPROM is write protected by jumper JP4, so any user settings cannot be there. You only need to edit the EEPROM content if you change to different oscillator. To do any changes there JP4 must be shorted to enable writing. From my TS2100 I have stored two EEPROM dumps: With original TXCO: 0e 5b 45 4b 00 00 00 46 31 30 34 30 38 30 37 39 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 a0 6e 04 1f d3 56 43 58 4f 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ff ff ff eb 00 00 00 02 3f 73 33 33 00 04 00 00 00 00 00 24 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 After upgrading MTI OCXO: a5 73 9b 52 00 00 00 46 31 30 34 30 38 30 37 39 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 a0 6e 04 1f d3 56 43 58 4f 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ff ff ff eb ff ff ff ec 3f 7f df 3b 00 04 00 00 00 00 00 24 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 So there must be some other place to store the user data. I would look if there's more EEPROMs on the board and does they have write protect jumpers also. Erratic jumper setting there could prevent storing any changes. It may also be faulty eeprom. -- 73s!
