2017-07-03 Thread Steve65
In 2016 I bought one of the KO4BB Thunderbolt Monitor Kits. I'm just now getting around to thinking about an enclosure in which to mount the device. I'd appreciate learning what others may have already done. Anyone care to share experience as to mounting and power? Pictures perhaps? Thanks. S

[time-nuts] Problems with TAPR Oncore M12+ kit

Has anyone else received a unit they can't get to work? I got my unit finally boxed up a few weeks back. The PPS LED flashes and power LED and RXD LED's light but the TxD doesn't. I've ordered replacement MAX chips and 74ACT04 chips from Digi-Key but this didn't solve the problem. As a next ste
