They are big beasts and are both heavy and a wind load. Both need to be

in them. Often the preamps do not work down at the 5V that a 3801 puts out.

I suspect that the “more alarming” signatures on the stable sources are a

“holding still” (in phase) longer. With the less stable sources, the junk is
still there, it
just is smeared out more.

Hi
Looking at that screen shot, something is *very* wrong with your GPS reception.
Your GPS
is 10X worse than it should be.

Hi
Is this for a business or for a basement?
Are you looking for new self contained gear or combinations of used gear?
Is a cross comparison device ok or do you need a stand alone device?
How low do you need to go how fast? Is -190 dbc/ Hz low enough? Is a 24 hour
run to long?

Hi Pete,
I am a little confused. In your screen shot the overdetermined clock
says you are at precisely 46.00 North by 7.0 East at 547
Meters. However, Google Earth shows that location at over 10 thousnad
feet (>3100 meters) elevation in a remote part of the Switzerland
mountains.
A couple of thinks to note:
Before running the auto-calibration feature, first set the antenna elevation
mask angle to a low value and let it run for a few (say 12) hours. This will
collect data on the received signal strength vs satellite elevation angle. The
auto-calibration routine sets t
On a Thunderbolt, you can only manually enter your position with using
single-precision floating point numbers... not really accurate enough for a
time-nut. When Lady Heather does a precision survey, it stores the
high-prescision results of the 48-hour survey by doing repeated single-point
Hi,
In all reality, achieving these results without decades of experience is
probably unlikely. That said, are the specific plans available or
published anywhere? Is is possible that someone willing to build and
tinker could make a 'functional' copy of this unit?
I would guess that not all o
Hi All,
I'm searching for the less expensive signal analyzer to perform phase noise
measurements on OCXO's. There is no need to go above 400 MHz - 1 GHz. I'm
particularly interested on low frequency offset and good close in phase noise
specs. Any recommendations?
Best regards,

Hi
Backing up a bit to “getting a TBolt running”.
1) instal Lady Heather and get it connected to the TBolt
2) does it fire up and find any sats?
3) are the power supplies holding regulation?
4) nail down the antenna in the best fixed location you can find
5) run the auto-calibration feature in
during the last days i ran a few tests with different high stability

setup:

A week is somewhat optimistic since the thunderbolt consumes around 1.68
kilowatt hours of energy. With a 12V battery a capacity of around 84 ampere
hours (for an efficiency of 100%) which is somewhat larger than that provided
