I have participated the past few years mostly with the N8UR multi-op group. My setup is as follows: 1. Receiver: Icom IC-745 or the Yaesu FT-100D (I threatened to use a Hallicrafters SX-25 one year) 2. PC with sound card running DL4YHF's Spectrum Lab for the FFT work. The receiver audio feeds

[time-nuts] Time synchronization and the Energy Policy Act of 2005

2006-10-19 Thread Jared Morrisen
Hello, The Energy Policy Act of 2005 established that beginning in 2007, daylight saving time is extended one month and begins for most of the United Stateson the Second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday of November. With that, should I be concerned that systems may be affected by

Jared, NTP works on UTC so daylight savings changes etc not applicable. However, on the question of dates of daylight saving changeover, it would be nice if the US got in sync with UK Europe! ;-( Rob Kimberley - Original Message - From: Jared Morrisen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To:

Heh, that's great. Interesting that at least some CMOS parts will work. I may have had some bad chips, but the same ones that failed in an 8566B worked fine in a 494AP. Not knowing what happens if an address line toggles in the middle of a read cycle, I wonder if it'd be a good idea to tie

My kind of guy :-) Congratulations! Reminds me a long time ago when building 120 audio amplifiers as part of a college hobby gone crazy, I had laid out my PWB for mini-DIP (DIP8) op-amps (uA709, because that's all there existed back then), with the frequency compensation caps at each end of

2006-10-19 Thread Didier Juges
Many CMOS chips draw higher supply current with floating inputs, as the internal buffers may bias themselves in the middle of the range, where both transistors are turned on. That may lead to increased temperature and failure over time. In many cases, floating inputs will simply toggle as a

Actually, since each EPROM is now 4x bigger than necessary, couldn't you do all this with just one chip? The circuit must be decoding a couple of high-order address lines to drive the chip-select pins of the other three EPROMs, so you'd just tie those two address lines to the unused address pins

Doh, never mind that, I'll bet that the 68000 is going to want to fetch 16 bits at a time, or maybe 32. -- john, KE5FX -Original Message- From: John Miles [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 19, 2006 5:50 PM To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement
