[time-nuts] Used ESE ES-911/GPS/NTP Master Time Clock Power Supply

2020-01-01 Thread Frederick Bray
The Triad VPS12-2000 transformer seems to be the best readily available alternative to the original wall-wart power supply so far for the ESE ES-911/GPS/NTP.  The two 6 volt windings can be strapped in parallel to provide 4 amps.  It won't fit within the 1U case so some sort of external

OK, that makes sense. Maybe they had responsibility for keeping all their state’s radio gear tuned up and on frequency. On Wed, Jan 1, 2020 at 2:42 PM jimlux wrote: > On 1/1/20 1:27 PM, Jeremy Nichols wrote: > > Wonder why a highway department would have a rubidium standard? > > I'm not sure

Hi Dan, This is possible with the Broadcom BCM54210SE or BCM54220SE. Ethernet PHY with built in jitter cleaner. External loop filter, 10MHz input is possible, 125MHz output locked to 10MHz is possible but not documented. The Ethernet PHYs will also be locked to the 10MHz input and it has HW

[time-nuts] Happy New Maser Lock

2020-01-01 Thread Magnus Danielson
Fellow time-nuts, On friday I took the delivery of the EFOS10 maser, and this morning it got temperature of cavity up to support masing, which is really for it to be sufficiently in tune frequency wise, and then 2 min later the 5 MHz BVA had achieved lock on the signal. The cavity temperature

Even with a smaller device it's possible : you can sometimes repurpose crystal and reset pins to be I/O, do a software SPI, and set registers using write-only methods (MOSI but no MISO connection) to get down to 2 or 3 pins used. On Wed, Jan 1, 2020 at 1:54 PM Graham / KE9H wrote: > On Tue, Dec

Richard, Faros uses a precise time of day to determine the time it took for the beacon signal to reach your location. It uses this info to determine if the path was the short path, or the long path. The NCDXF beacons use a GPS receiver to determine a very accurate time of day, and to start
