[time-nuts] Re: Help needed IDing GPS antenna

2022-02-12 Thread EB4APL

Hi John,

Since TOPCON is a manufacturer of topographic instruments, I think that 
this antenna is used for this kind of work. GPS antennas made for 
geodesy or surveying usually have a very good quality and their prices 
are according to it.


But given the label at the bottom it could be used by UPS and its 
subsidiaries installed on their trucks and vans for tracking them. In 
this case the antenna class is a common navigation one.

Hey all,
I'm looking for a specs sheet for an antenna i recently got my hands on. It's 
marked Topcon on the top, II Morrow Inc model 590-1114 on the bottom. I've 
tried searching in all the usual places but haven't found anything yet. If 
anyone could send anything my way that would be much appreciated!

Looks like an Aeroantenna OEM device.
 
May be a

The marine style antennae tend to be lower in gain (I assume because the 
downlead is much shorter), so could be 12dB gain and 5V
power.

Hi

Just a guess: 

Single band GPS with a preamp that runs on 12V (or 5V). Gain around
30 db.
