Hi Arnold, not sure what voltage the crystal stops at, that is probably different unit-to-unit. It happens on the M12+, it may not happen on other Oncores. As someone else mentioned, if you only use the Li battery during power outages, it will probably last a very long time, years and years. It's mostly an issue when the unit is un-powered, in storage. bye, Said In a message dated 11/23/2008 13:05:10 Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Hi Said, thank you very much for the additional clarification, very interesting behaviour. I think this does confirm roughly my assumption. When only pwr fails for a few hours (intermittant) have to be taken into account, super caps may be good for safe work during several hours up to perhaps 24 hours, but not beyond, is that right? Do you know at what voltage the clock does resign? Perhaps this could be improved with a software solving the recovery problem when repowering the RX. You describe that using LiIon batteries are not yet the ideal way, but why cannot higher capacities come into play (space should be not the problem for on ground use in fix stations)? regards, Arnold _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
