[time-nuts] OT- R&K devices?

2008-08-29 Thread d . seiter
I'm drawing a blank on a blank on a pile of R&K devices I just found in a few boxes I had forgotten about. They look like relays or filters (2x4 pin, non-hermetic metal case, 10x10x20mm), internally it looks like an active device with a balun on both sides under silicone. I remember R&K, but I

Hi All, I got a Trimble Thunderbold from Ebay and I am having trouble triggering the HP 53131A. The 1PPS output shows a 10us pulse of 1 Volt into a high impedance probe. This seems low to me. Should it be 5 volts? Maybe the output 74AC04 is toast? Pieter, N4IP _

Hi Bill, You're right there are two US stations on the HF band, WWV and WWVH. I was generically referring to them both. Although in my mind I did not really think of WWVH per se. In either case neither WWV or WWVH were not there in any recognizable strength. BillWB6BNQ Bill Hawkins wrote:

I wonder why you didn't mention WWVH in Hawaii. Same frequencies as WWV, same schedule, but the voice is female. Heard it here in Minnesota several years ago on a Lavoie time receiver with vacuum tubes. The set had a 2" CRT drawing a circular trace at 10 MHz and intensity modulated with the carrie

Hello to All, I live in San Diego, California, USA and normally do not get to bed until around 3 to 3:30pm. I have an Amateur radio transceiver next to my bed and often listen to Amateur conversations while falling asleep. Besides my favorite listening spots, I, of course, have the WWV time cha

Yes, that was essentially what I was seeing over a few runs. The failure times I saw were on the order of 2-4 hours. I've moved my 5370 over to a UPS, along with the Prologix and the router, and I'll see what happens. I have to wait until my 3-day 5334 run finishes, though. I'm measu

I'm not familiar with any GPIB bugs on the 5370A, but I moved your code over to C and ran it on my 5370B via a GPIB-LAN adapter. The test app failed after ~6 hours with a Winsock timeout error. I'm thinking that was caused by a power glitch, though, because I actually had to power-cycle the count
