Hi
Which port are you putting the commands into?
The box *may* respond to some things on the Diag port that it does not respond
to on the PPS port. I have not investigated this, but it is a possibility.

I now have my KS-24361 operating and I've successfully communicated via RS232
(using the hack described previously) with both SatStat and GPSCon using Win7.
The time I'm getting out of the unit is the GPS time (+16 seconds). I've tried
to convert the time to UTC by first changing the mode from
The rapid clicking of slave clocks in schools was a design feature of IBM (and
later Simplex) clocks. The master clock sent out minute pulses to the slave
clocks for the first 50 minutes of each hour on the A side of the circuit.
Slave clocks operating on-time would automatically switch to the
I have Arduino and Parallax BS2 programs that check the time from a Motorola
GPS card (UT) and then send out a pulse on an electronic relay once an hour.
The pulse starts at 59:57 past the hour and ends at 59:59. The solenoid
releases on each clock pretty close to the hour, and the clocks
I'm working on a Time-Nuts based exhibit at the 2012 MakerFaire in NYC

Last year I picked up a frequency standard that inputs 120VAC (or 12V DC)
and drives a 6 0Hz Synchron motor based clock and also has a 120V 60 CPS
output on the back. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it, but now I
know I can run my old telechron synchronous clocks with this when the power

15 years and have about 20 that are synchronized hourly to a 2 second pulse

My z3816a no longer locks to GPS. While it still outputs 1 PPS and 10MHz, it
doesn't track any satellites. I've checked the GPS card and it locks outside
the unit, so I don't think that's the problem. I've decided to replace it
and was wondering if I should get another z3816a or T-Bolt. They would

other than it looses the satellite lock and then can't re-lock. In some
cases after power on/off sequences it will re-synch, but generally looses

Thanks all for your help. I've replaced and shortened the coax from the
