Peter, My UT+ works ok with common antennas, I tested it with a Trimble 28367-00 and with a INPAQ AAF-03B 5V. Both are quite old garden variety GPS antennas intended for car navigators so your problem can be in the receiver. I bought mine from fluke.l and he still have some available on his

I may have that part in stock somewhere. Years ago I parted out the un-needed guts of the 5065A I'm now using to transplant a Z3801A. I likely would have saved the major parts from the boards, stripped en masse on my solder machine. If you or anyone happens to have a good picture of it, please

Hi Peter, yes it sounds like the UT+ is defective if it never gets any sats. You can probably find one on eBay. Someone probably fired RF into the receiver front-end and zapped it. I think the antenna you are using should be OK. I will look for my drawings on this unit and send copies to

Hi, K4CLE A while ago, I invested $600 in two pairs of the GPSDO and LPRO units. Intended to replace a pair of 48 volt Z3801 receivers with 24 volt units. Put them in the project pile for lack of drawings and software, where they have languished. Their value has dropped, but I'd still like to

Paul The quick and cheap migration to a desktop PC if you have the PCMCIA GPIB card is to get a PCI to PCMCIA adapter. They are cheap and plentiful for as little at $6.50. e.g. http://www.ebay.com/itm/PCI-PCMCIA-CARD-ADAPTER-/130584195663?pt=LH_DefaultD omain_0hash=item1e676cb24f#ht_500wt_1413

USB can be a pain if you have several, how do you ensure they pop up with the same identity? Serial port adapters have that issue. Not aware that there is a general solution to it. For USB at least there is a scan order to assist, and USB doesn't hurt as the ISA did. Cheers, Magnus About

But if they are USB HID (Human I/F Devices) There is no drive association. I have no HID expertise. On Linux, the udev stuff helps with that. FTDI serial-USB adapters have a serial number. That lets you can associate a name like /dev/gpib with /dev/ttyUSBx where the x is whatever the

You can troll sci.engineering.design for users of the prologix usb and ethernet interfaces. However I think the best suggestion was to get the pci to pcmcia adadpter. My recollection is cardbus is 32bits and pcmcia is 16bits. My it shouldn't be an issue unless you try to run DOS. The only

NI used to have a trade-in policy. You would get half off the new price. The trade-in page was always kind of hidden. I took a quick look, but don't see it on the website. It wouldn't hurt to ask NI, since they know Prologix sells for half their cost.
