Re: [time-nuts] Z3801A Replacement GPS Receiver

2020-11-15 Thread Frederick Bray
I think that there was something in an old thread that mentioned this.

However, Art’s solution is the best.  It will breathe new life into what has 
otherwise been a good GPSDO.  Fortunately, In the meantime I have a Trimble 
look-alike as a backup so I still have a usable standard for my test gear.

Hi

I don’t recall any hand held version of the *timing* version of the Oncore ….
Indeed with all of the roll over issues on top of the original Oncore’s 
limitations, 
shopping with Art is probably your best choice. A lot has gone on in the 
GPS receiver world over the last 20 years ….

Re: [time-nuts] Z3801A Replacement GPS Receiver

Hello,

The 1024 Week Roll-Over date for the last of the 6 channel VP Oncore receivers 
was in December 2013. They would continue to operate but with an incorrect 
date. 

We want to avoid blatant commercialism here but folks should know that Synergy 
developed a 6 channel VP Oncore replacement that plugs into HP Z3801A and 
Z3805A slots. It's described here:
https://synergy-gps.com/synergy-products/ssr-series-adaptor-boards-for-vp-oncore/.
  We're working on replacement boards 6 and 8 channel VP and UT+ Oncore 
receivers in other legacy instrumentation products, including those from HP, 
Efertom, Datum, Timing Solutions, Symmetricom, Austron and others.  

A lower cost, single board version (no Adaptor Board) will be available soon. 
The datasheet and pricing  should be available in a week or so with shipments 
probably starting in the January/February time frame (delayed by COVID-19 and 
the holiday season). If there is any interest in this type of replacement 
product, please contact us off-list at oemi...@synergy-gps.com.

Subject: [time-nuts] Z3801A Replacement GPS Receiver

It looks like the GPS receiver in my Z3801 may have died.

I'm looking for a replacement module and noticed that in the past these have 
been salvaged from old handheld GPS units.  If I can't find the appropriate 
Oncore module, I might try looking for the handheld unit that contained them.  
Does anyone recall which units these were?

Thanks.

[time-nuts] Z3801A Replacement GPS Receiver

2020-11-14 Thread Frederick Bray

It looks like the GPS receiver in my Z3801 may have died.

I'm looking for a replacement module and noticed that in the past these 
have been salvaged from old handheld GPS units.  If I can't find the 
appropriate Oncore module, I might try looking for the handheld unit 
that contained them.  Does anyone recall which units these were?


Thanks.
