Fellow time-tickers,
I finally broke down and bought, new (ouch), a couple of the correct OCXO's (240-0530-D) for the 2100 direct from MTI. I'm deeply grateful to them for extending a 'hobbyist' discount to me, once I explained what I was doing and that I was a ham radio op, but it was still a chunk of change. Anyway... I've got the first one installed and cooking right now. It has only been an hour or two, so I'm not expecting a 'Lock' light as yet. I've got the commands set right, I think, though I'm still not sure if the gain setting should be -20 or 20. I'll play with it if I need to. If anyone's come up with further news on this parameter, or others, I'd be happy to hear it. A note to Esa Heikkinen: You had mentioned to me, in my previous thread, that the tfp0 value of 00f2, and unchanging, was way too low and wrong. I'm pleased to report, with the MTI oscillator installed. tfp0 is now considerably higher and constantly changing. For those curious about the command structure of the root menu, please refer to my earlier thread on the topic: https://www.febo.com/pipermail/time-nuts/2018-April/092078.html with a subject title of 'TS2100 OCXO Conversion: Command exploration' Waiting and watching... -- --- Bruce Lane, ARS KC7GR http://www.bluefeathertech.com kyrrin (at) bluefeathertech dot com "Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati" (Red Green) _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@lists.febo.com To unsubscribe, go to http://lists.febo.com/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts_lists.febo.com and follow the instructions there.
