I came across this: " rpitx " it is python software that enables a RaspberryPi to transmit using a GPIO pin. The links refer to using the Rpi to produce 2m Tx signal. Rpitx seems able to produce most modulation schemes. I have not tried it so have no idea if it would produce your need direc

I have a '50AA here. But I don't use any command line options relating to box ID. Just start up LH - LH talks to the box, determines it's a Trimble variant, and off to the races it goes. 73/jeff/ac0c www.ac0c.com alpha-charlie-zero-charlie -Original Message- From: Peter Reilley Sen

The Nortel devices can talk either as a Thunderbolt or as a SCPI device. Use it as a Thunderbolt (/rxt). In SCPI mode the satellite positions are polled for once a minute (at xx:xx:33). Thunderbolt mode provides much more and better control of the receiver. --- > I just got my

Professional statistician here. Your explanation is clear and lucid, in contrast to some earlier attempts here. I agree that with oscillators the distinction between N and N-1 is not particularly relevant. I must caution you, however, not to be too dismissive of the difference between the two. The
