Tom You are correct; it is a complete unit with a 1pps and RS422 output for time and setup/control. I wanted to "try" to use 3 of them in/for time stamps for triangulating lightning strike data. With a 100 ns timing accuracy I would think it may work for my application. The manual is available for

I also purchased two of these units. Although I could not find a spec. It appears that it has the same Pinout as the: ONCORE Remote GPS Antenna Receiver ACUTIME 2000 Trimble Palisade The Provided cable only brings out pins 1-5, 9, 11, 12 These Correspond to Pin 01Red Vcc (+8 - 36 VDC) Pin

We did a lot of characterization of crystal temp vs freq in the E1938 development and never observed any "aging" of these curves. Even on "green" crystals with zero run time. Rick Karlquist N6RK Jeff Mock wrote: > Thanks for the description, it is very interesting. I have a follow up > questio

Thanks for the description, it is very interesting. I have a follow up question if you don't mind. How does crystal aging look on a graph of temp versus frequency. This graph has some temperature point where the slope of frequency variation goes to zero and the crystal is quite stable around

I just realize they do not provide any information on the software though :-( It is a complete GPS receiver actually, unlike the 58532 which is just an antenna, neat! Their nomenclature is confusing. Didier KO4BB > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTE
