2022-02-12 Thread EB4APL
Hi John, Since TOPCON is a manufacturer of topographic instruments, I think that this antenna is used for this kind of work. GPS antennas made for geodesy or surveying usually have a very good quality and their prices are according to it. But given the label at the bottom it could be used

Hi Jim, This explains a lot of things. As an old time user of the Moon Bounce time synchronization in the Madrid Space Complex, I can say that the system was never popular among the users, it was cumbersome to use and there were already other systems with better accuracy and availability,

Re: [time-nuts] It is possible to "recharge" a hydrogen maser?

2019-07-06 Thread EB4APL
The H maser that we had at NASA-DSN in the 80´s had a small H2 bottle which supplied it to the palladium valve, so it could be refilled. We never needed a refill but once we had to open the plumbing, it was necessary to reestablish the vacuum before opening the H2 valve. it was done using a

Hi, I have a NTGS50AA, is this the model of your unit? If yes, I am very interested in the circuit diagrams since I have a very partial one, which I made by reverse engineering to bring the 1 PPS out, re-purposing the 9.8304 output circuitry since I don't have any use for it. Regards,

of the the straight ways, i.e. pin 1 to pin 1 and so on, the lights worked in a strange way.  Using the other way, the auxiliary board in front of the main one and the cable straight between them, it worked ok.
