Re: [time-nuts] Oncore 1pps driver & LED

Hi... Personally, i take great care about the 1PPS timemark output from my GPS receivers. First thing of all: My timemark line drives a single 74ACT04 or 40H69 inverter with short leads to get sure the line is as little loaded as possible without ringing. What happens after is far less stressing:
