Somewhat available, the 'lab' is without power due to a complete house rewiring project. But if it just something I could do with a Fluke, I could help You can contact me off line ... -pete On Wed, Jun 15, 2016 at 9:48 AM, paul swed wrote: > Corby > Not sure I can help.

Corby Not sure I can help. I have my frankenstein 5061 in a 5060 with home brew oven controller. I pulled the old controller out. Is it that you need measurements on the controller or with the tube also. If its with a tube I don't believe my measurements would be helpful. Regards Paul On Wed, Jun

Hi, I need a couple resistance readings at the A11 oven controller jack. Does anyone have one available that they could measure for me? Cheers, Corby ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to

Be also aware that there are outright fakes around. This one did not have any silicon inside. It made debugging very difficult. http://leobodnar.com/balloons/files/fake-M8030.jpg Leo On 15 Jun 2016, at 10:00, time-nuts-requ...@febo.com wrote: > Certainly cheap…. BUT > > On the ublox site

Hi If you feed the chip with your local reference: 1) You need to synthesize a signal at the expected frequency (26 MHz, 48 MHz … whatever) 2) The signal needs to be low phase noise (per the chip set specs) 3) The signal needs to be constrained for ADEV (per the chip set specs) All of that

I should have added, if you do all of the above, the improvement in stability over just using a sawtooth-corrected PPS is not all that spectacular, a factor of two or three. I'll post a plot of some data tomorrow. Cheers Michael. On Wednesday, 15 June 2016, Michael Wouters

Certainly cheap…. BUT On the ublox site there is a table indicating that the KT is a standard precision engine. On the same table, the UBX-M8030-KT-FT is required for timing: < https://www.u-blox.com/sites/default/files/GNSS-Chips_Linecard_%28UBX-13004716%29.pdf > <

Mine came from seller "electronics plus" in Michigan (?) ... not sure of the firmware, all my machines are currently tied up doing other stuff at the moment. - Did you order yours from the same seller on Ebay.
