John I suspect we may be the only ones interested in these units. Can we connect offline? I am at paulsw...@gmail.com. With respect to Murphey Surplus they have been around for 30+ years. I think if you reach out to them they will take care of the issue of wrong/bad units. I have one damaged top c

John your pins are correct. I am thinking about 3 and 1 for ttl rs 232 from tx1/rx1. Though I really need to try usb, maybe no need to screw with tacking wires on. I have found the chip by the top connector. Its a L-band switch. Doesn't make sense but what can I say. Also removed the 3.5V glob boar

John indeed on the 3V. I have lots of 3.3V regs. Not sure I have a 3. But like you I am thinking the same only maybe simpler. Simply solder it to a piece of copper board thats larger so I can mount interface chips drill holes for screws and such. Also some standoffs for 1pps, ext in/out, rs232 tx1/

Hi Paul, Thanks for sharing this info! I ordered one of these lots as well, and it should arrive today, actually. My intention is to re-mount the modules on more sensible breakout boards, maybe a Pi Hat. The 8 pin chip on the board is an MCL BP2G. RF power combiner/splitter https://www.minicir
